i just bought a 9.0 front off eBay and its much better than the XT it replaced. always had trouble shifting under load and other maladies, including adjusting and so far the sram has been fine. the XT was the last piece of shimano on my bike, now i'm happy.
I am sick of shimano fds. I have had 4 wear out in the last 3 years. Two lx's and two XTR's. The pivots get so sloppy they rattle all the time, then they just quit working. I can't wait for someone to figure out a better way to shift the front rings that is reliable.
