If you race or put serious miles on your bike, you know the importance of your bikes performance. You are the first one to notice when your drivetrain starts to shift a little slow or make a little extra noise. Is there anything more frustrating than missing a shift as you grind up a huge incline or as you try to pass your rival as you approach the finish line?
If you demand performance, but don't have want to quit eating to make room in the budget for that new, fancy XTR group sitting behind the glass case at your favorite bike shop, you might want to think about LX as your alternative.
There are a lot of myths about LX's performance and durability, but I assure you, I would trust my life, and my race, to it.
Performance wise, LX is right among the most dependable parts you can hang on a bike, but with a little less flash than XT or XTR. In fact, the only real difference between XT and LX (besides the finish, really) is the durability factor. XT is built with a little more beef and has upgraded bushings and nicer pulleys. All that means is it's going to wear out sooner. However, with proper care, there's no reason you couldn't get two, three, maybe even four seasons of use out of it.
