Can any one point me to a thread that discusses the weight differences between XT and XTR ? I want to buy a new bike, but the cost of XTR is so out there. Wheels aside, how much weight would I actually gain by going XT (i.e. drive train, shifters, disc brakes).

Thanks,

R

The weight for each part is listed in the in the Shimano website for the new XT stuff. The XTR weight are listed in the XTR website in a PDF file.

how compatable are xt and xtr?

I'm a little worried about getting into xtr and having to go all-xtr or no-xtr.

Everything is fully compatible even with older generation parts and groups. Contrary to what people think you DON'T have to get everything from the same group.
