Which Groupset?

1. Yes
   
2. Buy whichever you like the looks of it doesn't matter
   
3. I can sell you x9 10 speed that will work with 10 speed road shifter for £15
   

Cheers for your help amey, PM-ing you a few questions on the x9

If the X9 is a long cage one I'll take it if @TheSchwartz doesn't want it. I managed to wrap mine round a chainstay.

I'm not taking it so it's all yours @danstuff

Anyone else tried running a 36t SRAM cassette with a shimano rear mech?

It'll be the same size as a 36t by anyone else, so will depend on all the usual dependencies.

Shimano, making campagnolo irrelevant since 2000-something

Still going bust. Buy MORE.

Which the article is saying what?

racist

19% drop in sales volume for Shimano during the first three quarters of 2016 on bike products.

There's a global slowing of bicycle purchasing which really impacts Shimano as the largest OEM supplier

Indeed.

Road bike sales have slow down significantly (since people usually don't buy road bike regularly), disc brakes seemed to helped.

I'm not sure if you can merit it all to disc brakes Ed...

Tubeless technology

Lower tyre pressure

I'm not sure if you can merit it all to disc brakes Ed...

Disc brakes does helped sales as it encourage people who already had a perfectly good road bike to buy a disc road bike, a la @dancing james with his Synapse.

I had a perfectly good road bike, but bought a new one this year. With rim brakes.

Lower tyre pressure

Means less air is being sold. It makes sense.

Yeah but higher volume. Shouldn't impact the sales of air.

Call it a rimjob.

Thinking of changing the groupset on my road bike. Currently 105 5700.

Thinking of either Dura ace 7900 off eBay or new Ultegra 6800. DA 9000 is a bit too spendy.

So, 7900 vs 6800?

go 11 speed.

6800 is enough groupset for anyone.

Duraace is for posers and people who get it for free. Or people with more money than thye know what to do with.
