    Is a bit stealthy looking and missing the bling of the 9800 (will stick to my Ultegra/105 mix for now)

    Interesting that there's a disc version. Who in God's name is gonna spend the money on that, if they can't use it?

    Id say keep a close eye on the "What bike related thing is in the post to you right now" thread.

    What's with filling the disc in between the legs? In case of a crash?

    Looks a bit cheap imo, the previous version is much better.

    A couple of the reviews say its more of an evolution rather than a revolution. If your happy with 9000 then they don't believe its worth the upgrade. The only big change is a switch to something of a mountain bike rear derailleur which may be practical but, as Astramonti says, cheapens the look of the groupset.

    i love the DA 9000 crankset. you feel like you're getting a bit of bling for the extra quids. the new DA falls in line with the look of every new shimano crankset from entry level upwards. first person i see with it ill be complimenting them on their new sora group :pac:
