Hey all,

I'm looking to set up my RoadRat in a 1 x 11 guise as the rear mech, chain and cassette are all reasonably priced.

However I can't find an 11 speed flat bar shifter - they definitely make one, but no one appears to stock it.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Paul.

Do they? Nothing listed on madison.

Edit: Tell a lie, they do the SL-RS700 but looks like only as a pair. Currently out of stock, expected availability tomorrow though.

£109 for a pair of the rs700.

or £59 for an XTR from Evans.

I assume XTR 11 speed will work with 105 11 speed?

As far as I know it won't.

ah. Why's that then?

Is 105 ten speed compatible with MTB shifters?

Different pull ratios for road and mtb 11 speed mechs (at a guess).

If you do revisit it in the future then also bear in mind that your rear wheel will need to be road 11spd compatible to run 1x11.
