Best I can tell, the following setup should work. Any dissenters?
XT M760 Crank
XTR M950(?) Rapid Rise 8-speed Rear Der.
XT M750 Front Der.
SRAM PG-850 Power Glide II 11-32 8-speed Cassette
SRAM PC-68 Power Chain 8-speed
XT M750(?) Combination Shifter/Brake Levers
I'm rebuilding/upgrading my 1998 GF Big Sur and I want to keep the 8 speed
setup. And holy cow is it hard to get XTR 8-speed stuff!
Any comments/advice on the remainder of the rebuild also appreciated. I'm a
200lb rider looking to have a lightish and sturdy hardtail that will see a
fair amount of street use riding to light to moderate northeastern x-country
trails. No sick downhill, drops, jumps, trickery, tomfoolery, etc.
