have a deore crank on my bike, its only a few months old. i got an xt

crank

Quoted message said:

for about $80.00. is it worth the upgrade. i smashed my truvativ and replaces with deore which
seems heavier. thus is it worth the $$$ to upgrade to the xt

thanks

Upgrade to the XT. Deore cranks are relatively heavy compared to the XT and the XT is stiffer.

Also put it like this: would you ride a crapped up Lada when you have an Aston Martin Vanquish
sitting in your garage?

Thought not 🙂

I would go for RF Prodigy, it same price as the XT, but you dont have to use Shimanos stinky Bottom
Brackets. There is a lot of nice ISIS BBs out there
:-) And yes, its worth the upgrade.

Depends on gas prices?

if you can afford a Vanquish you can afford the petrol, i hope.

Ride the Deore until it's thrashed, then put on the XT.

Or, ride the XT until it's thrashed, then you have a spare crankset so you're not out any cash.
