Is 9spd done?
Looking through Sram and Shimano's site tonight it looks like pretty much everything is 10 spd for 2012, is this right? Further, the 10 spd front chainring spacing isn't compatibe with existing 9spd stuff? Tell me I'm missing something.

I'm not convinced with 10spd yet. On a trail bike 22/32 or 34 and a bash works just fine with a 34 cassette out back. Now with 26/39 or the like you're forced to used a 36 tooth 10spd cassette which either weighs a ton or costs a fortune. wtf? It also forces you to spend more time in the 26 tooth granny which doesn't tend to play well with a few suspension designs.

Please tell me I'm missing something and marketing isn't forcing me into yet another standard I don't want or need.

Various sizing. No idea of the weights though.

Ive got a XG1080 on its way for the Chromag.
This on my RangeI've only had experience with 1x10 even though my Range came with a 2x10 setup with 36-24-bash combo.

RaceFace looks to have a few cranksets with more NS friendly chainring sizing, and Blackspire is releasing ones as well.

Sram X0 DH crankset has 104BCD. Other X0 appear to have 120BCD

10 speed is awesome for 1x10. 32x36 and you can climb anything.

Really?

Why do WC XC racers use granny rings then?

I'm more thinking about cranksets, as that's what I'm in the market for. I know 9spd is still available now, but for 2012 it looks like xo and xt is 10 spd only.

32/36 may work for you Jerry, but not for me around here.

I'm just a bit pissed as I've been running 9spd for years, have stocked up on spare derailleurs, cassettes, shifters and chains...and now I want new cranks and my choices are limited.

104BCD is still OK for a bashring, but for some reason, the designers of 120BCD decided that people will only use this set up for going shopping? As for shifting, ideally you need to go 10sp as the derailleur cage is narrower to work with the chain. Unless you want to think outside the box and mount a RH thumbshifter underneath the bar on the LHS, switch it to friction, and get front shifting that is finally as good as it was in 1989!

But the fact that some don't says everything. Considering they're all twice as strong as anyone on this forum.
