Do tell, I can't seem to find them that cheap but I'm finding full groups.
This will be my first large upgrade to the bike and I'll be switching from an 8spd to a 9spd. I'm guessing I should pretty much bank on replacing the FD, RD, Cassette, Shifters and crank. Brakes are Avid Disc, which are fine, but I've hated the X4 shifting for quite some time. Really sloppy, slow changes despite having it tuned several times. Is an X7 setup any worse than X9 or should I just stick with looking at X9?
Edit: That X9 crank looks sweet.
