You should not require an XTR component to get your bike to shift properly, front or rear. For the non weight weenie, and XT or LX (X9/X7) should prove to be fine. If they won’t allow proper shifting, you have problems elsewhere.
Go 1×9 and drop the front mech and shifter all together, problem solved for no cash! 😄 or should that be 😼
