Run xtr pedals and they are knackered!

Will I notice difference if I replace with XT (apart from my wallet).

What are differences and does anyone know of any deals at minute

    current XT may be better than your old XTR.

    but without part numbers who can say?

    Had my xtr's for 4 years so they are the old model.

    Looks like ou can pick up new model xt's for £50 vs about £80 for xtr

    they are an older model XTR pedals have been arround for quite some time now.
    re the current ones there is some difference and do you want to save the 30 pounds?

    Not much difference, a bit lighter and apparently (although I run XT & XTR and haven't found a problem with the XTR) the XTR spindles can be more problematic. XT is the better bet value wise. I just like the blue/gold look of the XTR pedals ;)

    You won't notice - tiny bit lighter maybe....

    Funny you ask this because last night,I took some XT pedals apart and compared them to my own XTR M970.
    Virtually bugger all difference and 20g in weight.I`d save the money!
