Bikes: Dale MT2000. Bianchi FS920 Kona Explosif. Giant TCR C. Boreas Ignis. Pinarello Fp Uno.

My main worry about going 10 speed used to be chains. I break 9 speed chains and they are Shimano XT so it is just the power going in that breaks them on the Offroad uphills. But I would be loath to use ultegra 10 spd chains offroad.

Mountain Bikes are starting to see 10spd now and I noticed that the 10spd are now being done in XT- so Can't see a problem in the future.
