LX and Hone were supposed to be fairly equal but for different purposes. LX being lighter duty and Hone for the aggressive "rough rydah". The Hone 2-ring crankset was a slightly different beast b/c it was a "3-way" with Daddy being Saint and his 2 biznatches were LX and XT. Their freaky little offspring had a reverse LX spider, Saint pedal inserts, LX arms, XT/Saint spindle, XT rings.

SLX is supposed to "integrate" all that crap and offer a group that is LX level with a few different offerings dependent on your intended purpose.

(to the best of my knowledge)
