Big logs, technical riding and some drops... but nothing extremely big. And we are happy with the Deore from what we've experienced as well. We are hoping it fits the bill of lasting a long time for the money put into it.

Will you be testing the rim's durability by taking it off some jumps and drops? I think you guys made a great choice by going with the DEORE's. I have to tell ya, I've ridden with all types of groupos and Deore, IMHO, is the most reliable set that I've experience. As long as you have a good set of cables and housing, your Deore will feel like you're on XTs'. Priscilla's bike has an LX and I have to tune that sucker at least every other ride. Tim,

As long as you have a good set of cables and housing, your Deore will feel like you’re on XTs’.

Priscilla’s bike has an LX and I have to tune that sucker at least every other ride.
