ST2 Upgrade

[Deleted member 803]

Never liked the slop in the SLX shifters and I am getting some chain slap over rough road. Installed an XTR rear derailleur, front derailleur, and shifters. Will test over the next few weeks and report.

Also going to talk the StaFast folks at Interbike (if they are there) and see about adding their suspension stem. Check out the stay fast video: www.sta-fast.com

Oops the title should be ST2 Upgrade.

I like the idea of the StaFast! If I had the need, I'd seriously consider it. When you know more you should give it it's own thread in the accessories forum, I think there will be a lot of interest for it.

My local bike shop turned me onto StaFast. They haven't seen one in action because this is fairly new tech. Might take a chance on one if I can be their guinea pig for the ebike market and get a good price. It might ruin the aesthetics of the bike but this is less of an issue than performance.

I tried to find some info on the SF a while back, but came up fairly empty. I think someone tried this a few years ago, as a commercial product. For the current price it would have to be very good and have no real complications at all.
