XTR is a MTB group-set, or it was the last time I looked :wink:

It's a set on a road-bike that's playing up :wink:

muddymesser:
while were on this subject what do you think would be the best mechanisms and shifters for a trials bike ??? oh yeah its a 24 speed with a fairly low ratio

DFR:
if it has been sat for a while I would spend a bit of money on new cables and spray a bit of lube (GT85 my favorite) in the shifters and on the front and rear mechs and ease them about abit by hand. You should then find that it all works nice and free again.

As for trials most of them use a short cage rear mech usually a road one as they are cheaper and regularly get broken, they also use a rear cassette of a road bike as well for the closer ratio gears. As for shifter you will need  a 7 or 8 speed one as 9 speed is not compatible (different spacing between the shifts). If you mix the groupset between sram and shimano make sure you get the right compatiblity parts as they dont nesasarily work together.

hope this helps
