Also the 2011 XTR/XT/SLX are going to be 10 speed and double, 2011 Sram X0 10 speed and double.

Personally, I don't like triples, but am not about to attack or diss anyone who runs a setup with a triple.

That's good, I got the XX for my cross bike (and for Everest Challenge), but it was crazy expensive (even with team discount). A lower level/cheaper option would be welcome.

Nor would I. I'm sure if anyone objectively read through my postings in this thread (and others) they would not find any attacks of triple users. I have nothing against people who prefer triples, only people who feel that it is The One True Way.
