There is a little tab that shimano put in the XT shifter to prevent it from dumping 2 gears, and thus upselling the XTR.<br /><br />You can file it off with a dremel and then you have identical shifting to the 970 shifter, plus the system is lighter. Pop it open and you'll see what im talking about.feelgoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15905984098458079617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270141666701458904.post-20946925866944466492010-05-10T19:58:38.915-04:002010-05-10T19:58:38.915-04:00My previous post was removed as I accidentally cop...My previous post was removed as I accidentally copied and pasted instructions for building my working perpetual motion machine.Bennohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03801388803167494975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270141666701458904.post-9735404224874775422010-05-10T19:57:26.815-04:002010-05-10T19:57:26.815-04:00Not too sure what a furter is but it does sound mo...Not too sure what a furter is but it does sound more appealing than a single speed.Bennohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03801388803167494975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270141666701458904.post-24096777320480864652010-05-10T19:38:42.608-04:002010-05-10T19:38:42.608-04:00This is all fine and dandy, but if you truly want ...This is all fine and dandy, but if you truly want crisp, clean shifting think out side the box.
