Changing out my X01 RD, XX1 chain, and 10-52 cassette with the Rival XPLR RD, flattop chain, and 10-44 cassette on my Checkpoint. Better gearing options for my area.
Note to Self: Ensure you get the 120 link chain, not the 114 link

The "new" 2004 Masi was shifting like crap so I hosed out and lubed the levers, shortened the housings at the levers, changed the cables and adjusted the whole thing properly. Shifts like a whiz now. Also changed the cassette for some lower gears and pulled 2(!) lbs worth of thorn proof tubes out of the tires. Rather significant performance gain there. New chain and bar tape on the way. Getting to be a pretty nice ride.
