has anyone run the above combo before?
i'm updating my drive train and if i can avoid buying a new crankset, then i'm going to (in the short term at least...)
doesn't have to be exactly like tge one named in the title, but i have a perfectly serviceable crank... the rest needs to be replaced.
Shouldn't be a problem - the works ring runs with 11 speed and 10 speed chains so you can run X01 behind it. I have w/c ring and xt crank on the hard tail, no chain guide. I have the front end of your combo on one bike and the back end on another so not together, but don't see why they wouldn't work.
You just have to stick to all X01/X11 cassette mech and shifters and use an 11speed chain, and stick to 32t and above on the front if it's a 2x10 crank.
I'd give some thought to XT with a cassette expander if you've already got XT gear though. £40 cassette, £50 mech if needed, £80 for 42t & rad cage & £20 chain sees you at £190 or £220 all in with the w/c narrow wide.
I've got full X01 on the big bike and the combo above on the hard tail and I really would be hard pushed to spend the extra on full X01 on it, considering it'll cost nearer to £500 than £200 for X01.
here what you're saying about cost, but i've got such a good deal on an X01 shift and derailleur that i'd be daft not to...
plus i have XX1 on another bike and absolutely love it
Yep it will work fine, I bent crank axle a couple of months ago, and put a spare set of poverty spec SLX cranks on until I decided what I wanted to replace them with. They are still on there now!
