The front is the Ultegra set-up that the bike came with, but now compact. The rear is the XT 8000, with the 10x42 cassette. First real ride tomorrow morning. I am sure I will lose ultimate top speed. But I am also sure that I will not spin out of gearing at a speed that I want to be riding on the flat. My Sirrus has front and rear XT, and I do not spin out with it.
