My old 9 speed cassette and rear mech were shot so i took the plunge and went 11x1 shimano XT.
It was a doddle to set up and runs like a dream (need to take a few links out of the chain though)
All the bits

Just about to pop into Evans and pick mine up for both bikes. 🙂 Just need 2 x chains and front rings.
What chainring did you go for 30 or 32 BTW?
I'm assuming a SRAM chain will work OK, it did on 9 and 10 speed, anybody know if it will be OK?
I believe an SRAM will work but I just went with the XT. I went for a superstar 32 front to start with.
deffo need some links out of that chain
Yep sure do
About to do the same to my Krampus.
Just not sure of the chain line, so need to get that squared away before ordering it all..
Now that's a first! Evans cheaper than CRC! Under £300 for the groupset?
Mint.
I have a great mental image of 11x1!
I found 1x11 a better option 😉
Dumb question are 9 and 10 speed chains ok on a 11 speed setup?
No - you'll need an 11 speed chain.
Running a sram chain with xt1x11, all works fine

Even cheaper at Ubyk...
