I really like the 7.4 FX, looked at one yesterday. And I do like the fact that the Disk model has front and rear disks, because I will be riding in wet weather some.
But I noticed that the Disk model does not have a carbon fork. Wonder why that is? So I am thinking the non-Disk model with the carbon fork might be a better buy.
The 7.3 FX is nice too. But I understand the Deore is worth the $$$ over the Alivio?
I probably ride about 2-4 hours per week, mostly roads but occasional walking trails. Maybe the 7.3 is all I need.
