Groupset and brakes are separate items. You can even run XTR stuffs (that's if your frame supports it) while using an SRAM Avid Vbrakes. Heck, weight weeenies does that all the time. Vbrakes with highend components. Ultimate lightness.

Well, you can either get a used wheelset with Vbrakes rim or just change the hub to a 9spd friendly ones. Got holes does not means u must use it mah...

Cannot wor..

The shop say the hub comes with the disc brake. I got 3 options:-

1. install a normal disc brakes (RM600-700) and then install the Deore XT cassette and RD. 

2. Buy whole groupset and install one shot.. 

3. Sell the current bike and get a new one (which I don't think wanna waste that money) 

LOL... Mind to share which excellent shop recommended you that option? Selling ur current 7spd bike and get a brand new 10spd bike is an option. Might be cheaper than part by part upgrades too. I think there are Exitway brand bikes that comes with 10spd SLX group set for 2k plus?

At 600 price range hydros, I consider pretty good Dee.. Those brakes can easily do 1 finger endo liow...

Just googled your bike.

If you wanna save some money and get the perks of a 11T gear, can get this:

You're running these wheels currently?
Formula FM21 front hub, Formula FM31 rear hub; Bontrager 550 36-hole rims

Ok, did some googling for ya and this is what I found: A 7speed hub will be able to accept 9speed or 10speed cassette with some mods done.

Wanna save money, gotta do homework and DIYs and risking chances that it might fail/won't work.

If you decide to try this and succeed, bring your bike back to those shops and show them the middle finggah!

Just so we're on the same page, here's your previous question and details:
Your bike is 7speed and u wanna change to a 9speed or 10speed groupset. And you wanna do it cheap, right?

Your wheelset, which is a 7speed wheelset, can't fit 9 or 10speed cassette.

1. So you can try the DIY method I mentioned above

2. Get a new/used wheelset with 9 or 10speed capable hub. If you want to maintain your current vbrakes, just find a new/used wheelset that has vbrake rims.

3. You can just get a rear hub that's capable of 9 or 10speed cassette and relace your existing rear wheel at the bike shop of your choice.

4. Sell the bike and get a 10speed bike.
So 4 possible ways to achieve what you want. Choose your own poison.

ERGON's the game when it comes to comfyness.

I saw ERGON in Samy before.

Hi Guys,

I decided to get my old "road bike" aged more than 15years as in today fixed. I thought it was called racing bike back then.
I didn't know what to fix so I just sent it to a shop and ask them to get it back running for me.
Spokes changed, wires, brakes, tires tubes and also a new wrap.

Then I found out I no longer can ride these kind of bikes, and I'm not as young I though I was.
Wondering if there are anyone here interested in my bike. Roughly how much will it sell now?

Picture was taken before I got it fixed;

I took it for a ride yesterday and just for an hour or so, now my back hurts, arms and most in the bottom. Haha.
The frame is silka japan, others I've no idea.
