Until discussing the topic with a riding buddy of mine last evening, I was under the impression that the new SRAM & Shimano 2 x 10 XX/XTR drivetrains (shifters, crankset, chain, cassette) are lighter than the pre-existing 3 x 9 XO/XTR drivetrains. That's when I realized (duh) that taking a cog away from the front and adding one to the back, cancels out most weight savings. This true??
A primary reason I would consider in a drivetrain "update" is to shave weight. Otherwise, the change- for me -would be a solution to an issue I don't have.
