How about XTR rapid fires, are they any easier to push or do they at least have a shorter throw than XT? That would be a big help if they just didn't have such a long throw.
Can't answer that one. I won't buy xtr parts. I generally stick to lx or xt tops...and soon to be sram if they get enough support up here.
