Shimano Deore XT- Shimano XT is ther a difference?

taat2d

I'm looking to upgrade my crank, and am not sure if there is a difference between the Shimano DeoareXt, and the Shimano XT. Are they they the same thing? Please help.

This is what's called "lobbing a softball".

There is one small difference, the one has "Deore" in
it. But that's only when you read it. The parts are one
and the same.

Can anyone help out a newbie? And maybe explain the differences for me?

Was there something about the word "none" that you didn't
quite get?

I think you missed the point of that little conversation.
Ask your local high school age friends what "crank" means in
their vernacular.

In short. NO DIFFERENCE. People just get tired of
typing "Deore."

Very nice, Mark. (Although it probably should have been top-
posted for Muskie's benefit.)

Illustrated Man:

Think of Shimano's mountain bike stuff as divided into three
levels: basic stuff that barely performs outdoors, stuff for
real mountain bikes, and stuff that's essentially for
racers. Anything with a "Deore" name anywhere, or anything
with a two-letter name, falls into the middle category.
These are the Deore, Deore LX (or just plain LX), and Deore
XT (or just plain XT) lines. Stuff like Acera is ultra low-
end, XTR is racer stuff.

Now, I'll never race and I have a couple XTR parts on some
bikes, and one bike I just built mixed XTR and Deore. These
stratifications aren't crucial, and some of the comments I
made - mostly the "racers only" vibe - are generalizations
that are easy to find fault with. But, that's how I see the
product lines.

Hope that helps.

Well, if you have it all over your bike (like what I do),
there is only "up" to go ;-)
