Yeah... just a blank post.
But as far as the 2007 XTR, I'm really happy with what I'm hearing in the shifter department. I also like the improvements they're doing with the brakes too although I'm probably still going to bypass Shimano brakes for various other reasons. The decision to go with carbon chainrings seems kind of silly though but whatever... I've never been all that interested in Shimano cranks anyways. Same goes for their pedals.

Perhaps they are trying to market against Campagnolo's offerring...
