Jeesh. What's the first damn rule of 10 speed club, people?

Damnit.

*looks fondly at 9 and 10 spd bikes*
*caresses the IGHs on the rest*

I cannot imagine paying that much for a consumable.

Yep I'm looking for a replacement sunrace 11-46 11sp, the price has doubled since I last bought one 😭

What's extra frustrating is that the German sites seem to have stock but post brexit even if they still ship here import duty now makes them just as expensive

I have two 11 speed bikes because that's what they came with but the bike I built myself uses 10spd components rather like those mentioned above. I really can tell little difference. I certainly don't think, 'Gosh, I would love another cog' when on the 10spd. I honestly think the majority of people would be happy with 20 speed.

Yep, I paid £60 for mine before all this nonsense started. Merlin had SLX for £75 or 80 too.

How does anyone type 10-51 with a straight face? If that’s the solution then think we’ve misunderstood the problem. I guess cost per tooth is a constant. And that’s a lot of teeth on the cassette.

New deore is pretty good I think. I’m running 11 speed on my mtb and recently got some new brakes that are ispec ev. Bought a deore 11 speed shifter with ispec ev mount and it is really nice. Also got the shimano dropper lever to match. Just ordered an 11-50 sunrace cassette. £76 delivered from bikeinn. No need for 12 cogs yet.

I'm pre-emptively buying 12 speed bits for my next build.

There was a number of new XT 12 speed cassettes on ebay for £90 recently, not bad I thought.

I don't think my GX 11 speed was much less in 2019.

Cheaper as they were the Rhythm Step side plate size(which I actually wanted, as I think it makes so much more sense) not the serving platter Eagle+1 size.

I as concerned about it being a potential fake but it wasn't, its spot on.

I think that 10-51 is exactly the answer when i started back mountain biking we had nine speed triples with a 11-34 cassette. That range has been eroded by 1x and this cassette gives the range and the same gears and both ends as that 9 speed system.

You managed to by 12 speed Shimano before the Brexit referendum, did you have a DeLorean and a Mr. Fusion handy at the time, if so can you go back and get more? 😉

SRP on that Deore cassette is £97.99 so you got a bargain at £95.
