2013 SLX and XT only differences are 3 components from SLX are plastic in comparison to XT.

And like how Bikeradar had put it; (http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/shimano-slx-2013-unveiled-33285/)

"offering a similar level of performance to Deore XT at a much lower price"

SLX dah lah smile.gif

Thanks will look into it....
Means that the new SLX is comparable with XT, what are the 3 components that are plastic?
THanks.

Get XT if you can afford. Else combo, else SLX.

What are the different in brake system comparison between XT and SLX?
As I was told XT shifter are so much better compare to SLX.
Definitely I am going to get a "Shadow Plus" rear derailer.

SLX can down shift 1 gear at a go... XT can do 2/3 gears one press
not a major set back... with or without both still works for most people

but whole group set is cheaper than you try to mix and match individual component

And bikes with full sets look better too. If SLX, SLX all the way, if Acera, Acera all the way. But, to me, full drive train and different cranks, its also good looking.

Well, to each his own. But i think 2013 SLX looks high and mighty. the cranks look very good. Brakes looks like its very good to be used with one finger.

buuuuuuuuut i dont like Long cages... hahaha

RM1900 mahal ooo! But with brakes ok-la. If I were to buy the groupset I'd take it without the brakes, no Shimano brakes for me blink.gif blink.gif blink.gif

RM1900 is same price as XT.

Ha! Ha! HA!


Anyway... SLX or XT or XTR or SRAM X9 X0 or what not...

Which one is better?

Between Shimano and SRAM... Personal preference. Unless someone used both before, then they can tell you. If not, its better to read review for some hint.

SLX to XT to XTR...
Which one better...
Blind also know, the more you pay, the better it gets. Or else, what for having different grade?

And... if you are moving from Alivio or Deore or some chekai no brand system... any of these will give you satisfaction.
So... yeah... it is all up to you.

One last thing. Choose the one within your budget and it looks good on your bike. He! He!

But for a guy running non-series hydraulics, it would be nice to have those cooling fins on the slx or zee. I keep on overheating my brakes and they lose some biting force. This sucks when going downhill. I think, for my skill level, even deore will be enough.

But i've been riding my friends better rides and yes, even one grade up, things feel much better.If we can afford it, why not. Get whats best. And in my opinion, its quite ok to overbuild a bike.

Btw, i have a question, anyone know if where we can change the hubs from normal QR to 10mm through bolt on. Its just the axle bolt that needs change right? I have formula sealed bearings.
