not bad
wheres yours come from V10?
Cool! Cassette weight is bloody impressive. At risk of asking a daft question... what frame's it going on?
V10's is going on his santa cruz trc the big tart!!!
njee the cassette is very impressive - dont get me wrong its BIG but its not really [i]that[/i] much bigger than a 11-36

Going on my TRc for now - its all built apart from the chain which ive only just realised hasnt arrived! Freehub/cassette lockring system is nice and neat too.
Hi v10 - currently running a TRc with XO 1x10 looking to replace just curious what wheels are you running on your TRc with xx1 groupset.
Btw - very jealous!
Matt I've been running Rise60s on it for a while and the freehub system took about 2 mins to change over - freehub kit came with everything for QR and 142x12. From what I've heard hope/dtswiss xD bodies are pretty much ready to go.
Ready to roll, will report back after the weekend.
Got to say aswell, had my frame done over by invisiframe before i rebuilt with the xx1 and feel its worthy of a mention. Bloody fantastic job and very pleased with the finish. The gloss stuff (on matt finish) i had previous looked really patchy.

not tempted to run without a guide?
Yeah you've got to at least try without a guide!
Not doing any harm though is it!
Will give it a go without the guide at some point soon but i cant be on with taking it off just now 😆
our trails in Molini, Italy
Is this the same place the DH boys do their pre season testing? If so I'm not surprised you lost the chain.
I'm following this thread with interest.
v10 looking forward to your thoughts.

How was it v10 ???

No it's not they are going to San romolo
what bb did you use v10?
my gxp seems to be incompatible with the ceramic bearing gxp bottom bracket - drive side binds on the bb cup
[quote=v10]Matching left hand full grip 62g
Do you have the part number for the matching grip? Can't seem to find it on the SRAM/Fisher sites..
Bike looks very good-any feedback on the XX1 stuff?
Oops forgot about this ive been a rather busy bee!
Will drop some proper feedback down when ive got a little more time but first impressions are good.
Dirtyrider - running a Ceramic GXP with no problems?
Frogstomp - the matching left grips comes with the xx1 gripshift (no fisher spare part code for this on its own as yet)
got mine sorted, not sure what i was doing wrong but the lbs sorted it
dirtyrider-have you done a ride with it yet?
no, picked it up late last week, and work/kids have meant i couldn't get out
was due to do dalby tomorrow but they had snow up there today so not sure about making the trip

Thanks - it's not obvious from the stuff I've seen that they come as a pair..
The only addition XX1 has over any other clutch mech is that it has a different profile to the teeth on the chainring.......do people really think thats enough to keep you chain on compared to a bog standard chainring?
Err not sure that's totally true, xx1 rear mech has the horizontal parallelogram, which removes the second source of chain slap over bumps. Clutch mechs remove the main source but not all, if I'm to understand the SRAM press release stuff.
What tool do you need to fit the cassette? I presume a normal cassette tool doesn't work.

From what I've read you can just use a normal cassette tool - it's just that the lock ring is now part of the cassette, rather than a separate item.
normal cassette tool works, cassette does not move, an internal sleeve rotates onto the freehub threads
First ride on mine today, its bloody good 🙂

I got mine on Friday, not tried it yet. Roll on next week!
first ride on mine as well,
its nothing ground breaking, just nice to have such a big range without having a front shifter, simple,
no chainguide on mine, chain stayed where it should
deathly silent as well, like riding a singlespeed, all i could hear was the quiet whurh of the freehub (240s) -
Its very quiet and moving the reverb to the left (under the bar) works well.
2 rides in the peaks last week, so proper rocks, no dropped chain, still silent,

Several rides in the lakes inc Garburn etc - no dropped chain, still silent and smooth.
it was also muddy, and just worked, 42t to 36t jump feel natural as well and not as big as a jump as it seems

the only thing putting me off is the price of the cassette.... someone reassure me that i needn't worry... please?

Friend of mine started a race yesterday on his brand new never ridden XX1, the chain broke on the first climb and he went home.

269 euros?
yeah... £246 is still rather a lot of money.. especially when i can get an XT 11-36 for £45ish....
cassettes are consumable parts, alright not more than one every 2 or 3 years for me, but still... £246 is a LOT of money comparatively....
Still waiting on bits for my setup.. got the cassette and shifter before Christmas but still waiting for the crank and derailleur.. obviously popular as the dates keep getting put back.
Wasn't too bothered as I was waiting for American Classic to bring out a freehub body, but it looks like it is now available!
More rider feedback ?
Coming from a rather tired 1x9 XT set up I have to say that the performance of XX1 is simply fantastic.

1x9 was fine through the winter but now its mountain time again I need the lower gears again; XX1 gives me that without requiring a second chainring or the re-fitting of my Hammerschmidt... much as I liked the HS this is a far neater solution to get the gear spread.
It's expensive, but I'm worth it 😉
Been running mine now for 4 months on the AM bike, racing the UKGE's too and as said by others previously it works great, no dropped chains and smooth shifting in all weather conditions.
The only negatives I could quote are that you lose a bit of mid range going 1 x 11 compared to 2 x 10, initially the difference in gearing when changing up 1 ring when on the gas was too much and you'd be dropping back down again. I tend to 'spin' a bit more now and the problem isn't as noticable.
The other 'problem' is with regards the X-sync teeth on the chainring and jockey wheels, they do tend to hang onto trail muck more than normal profile teeth, so the tooth brush has to come out every wash to get all of the crap off of them. Performance wise, even though they do tend to 'clog' with muck, they still perform 😀
Good info on the clogging with mud... but I'm sure it will clog less than a Hammerscmidt or Silent Guide 😉
13 months of use, very little in the way of maintenance, lots of muddy rides, chain never dropped even in the condition shown, 1500 miles at least

impressive fang teeth there! out of interest Dirtyrider, is the cassette goosed too?? or have you been regularly changing the chain?
