Being put off by XX1

Can you guys mixing and matching post a full list of bits please? I’ve lost track!

I’m using:

– XX1 chainset/chain/cassette
– XTR M9000 shifter and GS rear mech

Works very well. Will change to an Absolute Black spiderless chain ring in the spring.

Great – keep us informed of 10t and 42t performance.

It’s fitted to a hardtail, so no reason to think it will work any different IRL to on the stand! But yes, will update.

Saved a tiny bit of weight too – XX1 rear mech was 244g, XTR was 222g. XX1 Grip Shift was 89g, XTR was 104g, grips were exactly the same as I went from Chunky to Racer’s Edge ESIs. So a whopping 7g saved. Will fit alu clamp bolt into the shifter at some point for pimpyness, probably take me to a monstrous 10g saved.

every little helps njee – im nursing a hefty 110gram gain in the rear cassette, changing from an XX 11-36 to an XTR 11-40!

Should’ve gone for the XX1 cassette then, cheap weight saving despite the extra expense 😉

I have one lot fitted on a 2015 Nomad and I am fitting another lot on a Solo.

I using the following parts:

XX1 Chain and Cassette,
Raceface Sixc cinch crank and narrow wide ring,
XTR M9000 Shifter and Rear Mech.

Working spot on with no issues at all and I have a fair few miles on it now.

I’m using

XX1 Cassette, Chain, Cranks (30t), mech.
X01 Shifter

I find it absolutely faultless. Only think i fancy changing is to a spiderless chain ring and to drop to a 28t to avoid using the 42t so much.

The thing is if this works so well why would anyone buy the shimano 11-40 cassette (or front mech) ?

I’d have tought shimano would have managed to work in some sort of incapability myself.

Am I right when I say you can use the Shimano 11 speed cassette without changing your hub driver body because the cassette is the same length as a 10 speed?

Anywhere selling a 1×11 XTR groupset with brakes?

Correct, you can use an 11 speed cassette with a 10 speed hub.
I have a brand new 11 speed cassette and shifter for sale if interested.

Duplicate gift!

Cheaper, particularly if you already have a hub, think this is particularly prevelant with people assuming that by the time they replace they’ll have the option of XT cassettes at £60 or so. Daft otherwise though IMO, the range on the SRAM one really is significantly better.

Guys, just looking online at the Shimano 1 x 11. What cage length rear mech are you running and have you kept the same chain length as with the SRAM set up.

GS mech, I have kept chain the same as with SRAM, but I could shorten it by at least one link, possibly two, didn’t want do so until I was happy it was going to work!

It’s not doubled up on itself in the 10, so I wasn’t hugely worried.
