Theres a lot of buzz around the SRAM XX component group and this afternoon I got a brief opportunity to see how the rich live. Clearly its tough to evaluate an entire component group at once but I will say every piece of the XX package is dialed in, buttery smooth, and stunningly beautiful.
The SRAM XX drivetrain, from shifter to derailleur to cassette and crank felt ultra-precise. Of course to me the real test of a derailleur is to see how long I can go without making adjustments but I have a feeling the XX will do just fine no matter what is thrown at it.
Some riders may question the logic of going with a 2-by-10 set up and admittedly its not for everyone. During my limited test ride I found the range of gears more than adequate but your mileage may vary.
