    Will 11 speed XT work with 10speed XT or SLX chainsets? My knees aren’t coping with 1×11 so I’ve decided to go 2x, hopefully without spending too much!

    I’m pretty sure you can just buy a granny ring for the cranks you already have. AFAIK, all the Shimano 1×11 cranks are just 2×11 cranks with only the outer ring fitted.

    I’m using my old SLX triple cranks with all the old rings taken off and a 34t on the inside of the outer ring arms, works a treat for me 🙂

    If the 1x is a double with one ring, you could fit a granny but no mech / shifter and manually change if you really need it. Cheaper and lighter 🙂
