to remove the cover of the XO shifter, you just need to turn the "impulse" and its very loose. XX you need a special tools to remove.
the different
inside the XO shifter
actual weight of XO shifter - 1 side - cut wire to fit my bike
SRAM website claimed 232g per pair = 116g per side
SRAM claimed XX shifter weight - 183g per pair = 91.5g per piece
actual weight per piece - uncut wire brand new
If XO = 232g per pair minus XX 183g = 49g so I should be saving this amount of weight but right now I only saved 18g for RM750/ USD250 invested :(
If you ask me what's the diff between these two shifter, they are:
1) effortless shifting
2) XX can only use with 2x10 setting
3) look - carbon cover for XX
4) both can use matchmaker
24 July 2011 -PCC Prez 2011
- Almost reaching the check point 2 my right/ rear XX shifter failed. Unable to shift at all and end up DNF my ride. :(
The same day had the shifter removed and passed to KSH directly for claim/ repair.
3rd August 2011 - call from KSH
They ask me to bring back the other side (front FD) shifter ASAP for full claim instead of repairing it as I was told that SRAM shifter has this problem on all their SRAM trigger shift.
I hope they can make it before my JIM THOMPSON RIDE on 14th August.

When you say "effortless shifting", do you mean that the XX Shifts better. I am looking at getting the x0 or XX and If there is a different feel on the shifting I'd like to get the XX, but if its just a full carbon X0, I'm not too worried about the weight.
Also I like the post, good write up. Although I see that the shifter was giving problems. Keep us updated.
hi!
yes shifting is much better and smoother even now after 1 month plus i had the xx shifter.
I would recommend straight to xx. I have used both and i know. :P
As a follow up I got the XX shifters. I upgraded from x9's. And the shifting is alot more crisper, and the throw is shorter. I thought I would use the adjustable lever position a little more, but I found the angle I liked best isn't far from the stock setting. I am glad I upgraded and went straight XX.
