Cranks : Bontrager vs Shimano
I was seriously considering giving myself the Trek 8500 as xmas present (any excuse will do, but it's in the season spirit).
I noted, on the prod. image on Trek, it shows Shimano XT cranks, while it's spec'ed with a Bontrager. Of obvious differences, is about 100grams of weight, in advantage of the Bontrager. What is the other major differences, which could have made Trek make the switch ? Which of the two, would be the better choice ? The parts in question is : - Bontrager Race 44/32/22 w/ISIS - Shimano FC-M760 / LJ http://www.ljweb.com |

I would go to Shimano. I have experience with XTR Hollowtech II and it is the best I have ever had. I suppose XT is the same stuff maybe a bit havier. XTR is extremely stiff.
