I'm tempted to fit a set of these to my Whyte Saxon CX (Currently Sram Apex 10spd/TRP HyRd) but I'm a bit confused as to what extra bits I'll need.
I'm thinking front and rear mechs, cassette, but will I need to change the chainset (FSA Gossamer CX 46/36) or will it work OK with the Shimano 11 spd?
Anyone?
Jamie will tell you all about them once he's stopped sulking about not posting the first reply.
My last bike was a Kinesis cross bike with HyRd, these are worlds a part,modulation/stopping power are off the chart and the hoods are the comfiest I have used. Run a single thick thin up front, 11 speed chain and cassette, that's it.

The single chainring wouldn't work on my commute, 800ft, 17% (in places) climb in the first 3 miles then 10 miles of downhill/flat.
40 x 11, you will do well spinning that out for ten miles, as for the first 3 miles, you need to grow some (40 x 28 easy) 😯 😀
Mate, I've sent you a FB msg. I've done what you're considering. Works well. Great brakes, can now go MTBing on my crosser without dying!
Thanks mate, I'm at work, I was going to say see you in the morning but it looks like you're not in again. 😉
