Yes, the estimated price for the set is around there.. How to save man...

SRAM expensive ka? no lah. just the shifters only. im still using my deore RD.

nope. can't afford that either.

Ober,

You are using SRAM shifters with your Deore RD? Can meh?

Coz currently I just trade in my LX Dual Shifters, DNM std rear shox and Tektro disc for Fox Float R and Magura Julie.. Then wanted to buy the X7 shifters to fit my LX groupie..

Then other people say cannot use due to different ratio.. Now thinking to get X7 (shifters, cassette & RD) at Bikepro for RM450 then got another offer for X9 (shifters, cassette & RD) for RM480..

Then another fren says just buy the X7 shifters (RM160) and X9 RD (RM190)..

Sigh.. now dunno wat to buy....

SRAM attack, rocket shifters model that can only be used with shimano RDs. Other than that, you cant use it. because of the ratio difference. 2:1 and 1:1. I suggest you to go for X9 model. if you can get it that cheap.

SRAM attack rocket shifters? How much is that?

Should I buy a complete groupset or mix and match? Read a review that the X7 shifters are better than the X9..

hmm...

it's really up to you. but compatability it has to be in the same group to be good. to get the "ngam". rite? like me, i cant afford to get the same group so i had to mix n match. so the setting kinda lari-lari.

mushr00m,
My suggestion, get the x7 shifter n rd. use back ur old cassette. done! but if u got lots of cash to spend then might as well buy te whole groupie.

Or you could just swap every single thing on the bike!

I thinking of using back my old setup.. Just get the LX or XT Shifters..

Some peeps says that the way of changing gears between SRAM and Shimano is like a japanese and a continental cars.. SRAM is a bit harsh while Shimano is a bit quieter..

And I am so far left behind of these upgradeable biking parts..

mushr00m,
Nah...not really...the only different between Shimano n SRAM is thumb n finger shifting.

Shimano XT trigger shifter - Push thumb to 32T / Pull finger to 11T
SRAM X.7 trigger shifter - Push thumb to 32T / Push thumb to 11T

If u use the XT shifter ur thumb n finger will be on the shifter pod but ur finger also needs to be on ur brake lever as well. If you use the X.7 shifter pod ur thumb will be doin all the shifthing up n down n u can safely use ur fingers on the brake lever whole time.

Both Shimano n Sram are good products it just that you have to get use of it. I know that SRAM shiftinng are more precise.
