After five years of loyal service, my XT shifters are starting to show their age. I don't really want to go down the SRAM road and replace everything, so my choice is spend £80 on the XT 25th Anniversary shifter and rear Shadow mech set, or spend the £80 on XTR shifters and continue to use my 2005 XT rear mech. What would you do? Many thanks
Get XTR if for anything just that I think they're the only ones where you don't have to hacksaw that pain in the ass waste of space indicator that come on all the other shifters.
The current M770 XT shifters come with removable indicators and include a blanking plate so you have the optiion of running with or without indicators.
