i'm in the process of changing of changing all running gear to xtr, final piece in jigsaw is to be the front mech. which one do i buy and why? the xtr m970 or 971. is one a newer model or do they work differently? any ideas guys? cheers :?

    Both the same model/ age the difference is how and to which part of the frame they mount to.

    You`ll need to look at the mech you have on now and match it up. If i had to hazzard a guess I think it will probably be a top swing.

    cheers. the existing xt is top swing. looks very similar to the 970 model.

    There will be zero performance difference between XT and XTR. IMO you'd be better off putting the money towards some new clothing or some bike related gadget - you can never have too much of them!
