Something small for the ride toolkit

Genuine Q: Why would you choose a carbon mudguard over a cheapy plastic one? They look flipping cool but I think I'd prefer something less stiff for when the inevitable stone or twig gets caught and sends you OTB.
Also, those crown mount guards don't seem to offer any protection to the seals/stanchions which is the main part of having a guard IMO

That does look pretty shitty!

I'll ever have my head turned enough by XT to spend the extra
For me the shifter with its 2-way release etc is worth paying more for but that's it. SLX (even Deore) is the way to go with an XT shifter for the clever money
-
I agree with this. I buy XT but apart from saving a few grams and a better shifter mechanism, I know it is for vanity over Deore/SLX.
@ao1989 yes, SRAM is plasticky and doesn't shift as well, especially for the lower level groupsets. I think it was only so popular because it had an extra sprocket

Best? XTR
Best value? Deore
Plenty of 29er XC Boost wheels about. You'd need one with swappable end caps though 15 ->12mm . Fucking standards.
