shamio gear sets

spr wheelie

hey all,

managed to tear my self away from window shopping for bikes long enough to ask you fonts of knoladge (some spelling lessons would be good too. ) a question. what sort of performance difference can you expect between alivio and deore gear sets and what would be the equivelent of other makes.

cheers all paul

I grte sweballo Srwom eggggs ok bittum.

Or to rephrase, which models, and what do you mean by gearsets, cranksets, cassettes, mechs?

Apart from cranks, which are very different, not as much as you'd hope.

No discernible difference, really.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, nobody really makes a bad setup any more. So just keep checking out bikes in your budget.

sorry if i was a bit vaugue, i was thinking of the whole drive train really. cassettes, mechs chains just generally the lot. by cranks do you mean the bits the pedals connect to or the front cassette or somthing compleatly different?

Good point. If you see a bike with "Shamio" - well, avoid at all costs.

Worry more about the forks. They make the biggest difference.

they should both work fine, really deore should work better for longer but in practice it will come down to how much you look after them and how hard you ride.
