aye, ive comverted to sram now though. i couldnt get it perfect and i prefer the feel of the X.9.

 i wasn't sure if i should change to sram, but turns out a new shifter pod sorted the problem on my xtr and it's running pretty nicely at the moment. the xtr only cost my £30 on the crc flood sale though, and x9 are running about £55 on CRC and i'd need a new shifter so i'm just gonna wait and see how it runs or until it breaks

 woow thats cheap. i picked up a super short cage X.9 with cable and outers and shifter for £35. it needed a good clean which took a good couple of hours but it works silky smoothly now.
