SRAM XX
NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
Some details emerge on SRAM XX (10 speed for MTB).
Seems ring combos (not mix-n-match) will be "26-39t, 28-42t, and 30-45t" and cassette (which take 9 hours to machine out of a solid lump of steel! Think $$$!) in "11-32t and a very interesting 11-36t".
This means your granny will be less granny (26/36 smallest combo) and big dog will be less big unless you take the 30/45 ringset and suffer a granny of only 30/36. Yeah, don't think this is prime time for lazy bones riders quiet yet, but the 'roids will like it.

The sram website has some more details http://www.sram.com/en/XX/
All I know is that I won't be able to afford it.
I took these photos while in Europe.

I think i'd have to have a play with my current gears to determine which combo would be best for me.....
I'm thinking 1x10 is all you need? After all 1x9 is all I really use... so the 39 and then 11-36 sounds tempting, but I'd have to give the ratios a go to really see...
solid chunk of steel? sounds heavy too!
They should just cast it!
but then it wouldn't be XX bling then would it....
More than one gear but not too many this could be the go for the N+1 on the horizon.
