AVAILABLE IN JUNE 2009 - SHIMANO DEORE 2010


The new Shimano Deore 2010 Groupset...


And the old groupset for comparison...



The Deore rear mech is now Shadow flavoured, so you now get increased rock clearance for decreased cost.


Apparently the brakes would be easier to bleed than SLX or XT because they have some new design to give better oil flow, which would prevent bubbles from collecting in the calliper.

Deore has gone a bit more angular and looks quite like Saint and SLX now, all good. As well as cosmetic changes there are some neat technical changes. The brake hoses and gear cables now exit at the same angle for tidier cable routing


Availability is around June 2009 and the colour scheme is called “galaxy black”… awesome huh!!!

CBP Groups and others ready to cycle back to Kahang Oil Palm Factory( 3 hours ride).

Today's ride quite heavy for us. The trail also very hard to handle. Hilly trail from the start to the finish. We are mentally and physically tortured. Total distance = 74km and total cycling time = 6 hour. Half of the riders didn't make it to cycle on the way back because of their muscle's cramp. But CBP Groups (GT, SCOTT and JAMIS) manage to cycle from start to the finish line. Go! Go! Go! CBP Groups....
