[QUOTE="bikepilot, post: 939368, member: 56976"] Have fun, mtb's are a great way to have fun and stay in shape:) BTW, if you are not familer with mtb components start reading up. Below is a basic list of shimano stuff from high end to low end. IMHO anything LX and above works really well and unless you are into competitive riding you will not notice a huge difference from LX to XTR but will notice a huge difference sub-LX to LX. There are many more variables for suspension components, do the research. Also, IMHO disc brakes are wonderfull and well worth the extra few $$. Hope is my favorite maker, but any discs you find on a real mtb tend to be pretty decent for most riding. XTR - the really good stuff, shifts will be very crisp. XT - Good, working man's stuff, fairly crisp shifts, but not quite like XTR. LX - good quality, works well, shifts about the same as XT, a bit heavier than thoes above. Deore LX - slightly lower grade LX stuff Alevio - low end but functional, but not all that durable, shifts are not very crisp, rather heavy. Below that - don't waste your time. I have XT on my cross country bike and XTR on the downhill bike (where super fast shifts can be criticle). Both work well. My previous cross country bike had LX and it also worked very well, shifts were just about like XT stuff, but it all weighed a bit more. [/QUOTE]
