Can the X01 or X1 be swapped out for the more reasonably priced PG-1130
Looking at a bike that comes with X01 but the price of a replacement cassette is just crazy. Ideally I would swap out to XT.
What a mess... road/mountain, [s]xd/non-xd[/s], all under the same name:

l.e. Sorry, my bad. None of the pg-1130 varieties is XD compatible and cannot replace an X01.
The cheapest replacement you can get is XG-1150 ([url= https://www.bike-components.de/en/SRAM/GX-XG-1150-Kassette-PC-1130-Kette-11-fach-Verschleissset-p50103/ ]about 96 euros bundled with a chain[/url])
That XG above is lighter and wider range than any XT cassette, and is a similar price (especially with the bundled chain since you'll need a change of chain when your cassette wers out)
Add the fact that going XT would require a change of freehub and there's no way I'd even consider it. SRAM all the way
thx all
