I’m watching for bargains on parts for my new build but have some questions. The plan is to build it up 1×10 with hope NW retainer plus a 40t rear cog…..but buy xt 2×10 so if my dodgy knees complain I can retro fit that.
Can I lean on use forums expertise once more…
I guess I need a shadow plus rear derailleur to give me the clutch retaining action?
I’ve bought the shimano hope 40t cog so am I stuck with shimano cassettes now (as opposed to SRAM?)
Do I have to use shimano chains on his set up or can I use SRAM?
Do xtr 10spd shifters work with xt 10 spd rear derailleur?
Is the I spec b specification to integrate with shimano brakes ? I have hope so am guessing I need bar mount shifter?
Many thanks
