432.3g, get it right, the man obviously has some calibrated scales
hasn't everyone?
standards are dropping.
I can do it to some more decimal paces if you wish, I'd rounded them all up 🙁
and no comments on the quick link........
Only if you post a pic of the calibrations sticker & records
If cost is the factor great
cost is a factor - a mate of mine wouldn't ride if it is was really muddy for fear of excessive cassette wear on his sram cassette...
Well the cost difference for me is about the same as a pint so no real issue.
Have the new XT groupset waiting at my LBS for me to turn up with my frame (Stanton Switchback) and my LB wheels when they finally show up, all reports so far seem good so looking forward to giving it a go.
Incidentally, paying 5800 HKD (around 480 GBP) for the groupset for reference, which I don't think is to bad for the complete 1x11 drive train and brakes inc fitting.

ok - I'll bite. An XT quick link?
It was sold as an xt set 😕
I did remove the chain as that wasn't shimano either.
I shall remove myself
Has anyone tried an M8000 11sp shifter and cassette with a 10 speed mech? It uses a 10 speed chain still so I guess it might work?
My 11 speed XT cassette needed 'modifying' to fit. The freewheel was in good condition. A little light sanding on the runners of the first set of sprockets was all that was needed.
The xtr shifter definitely works with an XT set up. I'd rather have had a XTR rear mech too with the 11-42 cassette but didn't think it would work with the 42 sprocket.
The XTR chain rings definitely fit the XT crankset too and the XT crankset is not as ugly as the XTR one.
The ratio change from 42 to 37 is nowhere near as noticeable on the XT cassette versus the same change on SRAM. In fact, the first 3 or 4 sprockets seem closer together when riding. Im really impressed with it so far especially given the price. Alpine bikes at Glentress have a sign up saying that they will upgrade bikes to 1x11 from £279 - that's amazing value. I fitted mine myself and it was very easy to do.
Also interested to know if 10spd mech work with the M8000 shifters.
Weight of the xt crank arms would be interesting if anyone has some?

Shimano says it works if you are running 1x11 :
