Anybody have an idea when the new SRAM stuff like the X.0 trigger shifters and the updated X.0 rear mech will be available? I heard May from some sources but it didnt materialize and i also heard June and im just wondering if anyone has any idea.

I don't have many details as yet but it was confirmed that there will be a SRAM road groupset for 2007.

It will have the 1:1 cable pull ratio of all their high end MtB derailleurs (they have a short cage X.0 on the way (197g) and some form of STI/Ergo lever that infringes no current patents and should have hiddden gear cable routing.

The MtBers crossing over and tourers will also be pleased to know that they have plans to add a hydrolic brake master piston version of the lever in 08 or 09.

I have no further details at this stage, but I suspect that we my see it appearing on some CSC bikes next year.

Bit off topic but I can see a few people, whether takin the piss or not, running 10sp on their dh bikes soon haha :p

The only real issue is that the 10 sp chain is so damn thin

They are just becoming available. Limited quantities for now. There was such a high demand by the manufacturers that VERY few have been released to the public. I ordered mine in mid July and the rear der. is in, and the shifters are due in on Friday. Good luck finding them.

I'm thinking about a new thread... SRAM OCP's? It might start a civil war with the MTBing community, but I must let people know my lust for SRAM. Will ya post?
