https://www.bike-components.de/de/Shimano/XT-1×11-fach-Upgrade-Kit-Modell-2016-p47308/

No cranks.

£120’ish for the cranks doesn’t make it cheap.

Is a klemschelle the correct option for a bog standard old school shifter on the bars that I can take the window off?

Unless you were just going to carry on using your existing cranks….

Seems good value to me, what, if anything am I missing?

Cranks, though I was just going to stick a 104bcd ring on my old 3speed crank.

If your already 1×10 you don’t need new cranks.

No cranks.

No, but no reason yo can’y use your existing ones with a NW ring

Does the shimano 11 fit straight on a standard shimano freehub

Yes

yep, designed to fit a standard freehub… that is the genius of the Shimano MTB 11spd stuff… and I can’t thank them enough for doing that

Neat as it is – the SRAM GX cassette is about the same price as the XT, but it’s lighter, and has more range.

Changing freehub is a pain, certainly, but if you’re buying a new hub or wheel, GX makes more sense than XT (at least the cassette, I’d still be buying Shimano mech/shifter)

Nah, I have no love for tiny cogs with few teeth in a country with grindy wet dirty trials. And, add on the price of a freehub (if your hub can be converted) and you’re talking twice the cost of XT. Sod that.

Seems good to me Merlin’s £196 vs £153..

Evans are worth checking too

TBH for a few bits of cable housing its not worth worrying about 10 quid

Cheers fellas

When is SLX 11 Speed out?

If you buy the bits from separate retails you can get it for the same price in the UK for the last 6 months or so. I guess it’s nice to buy it as one package from one retailer.

When is SLX 11 Speed out?

When is Deore 11sp out?

When is saint 11 speed out?

I’m holding out for ‘Alivio’ to go 11…

You can double up on Tesco club card vouchers too 🙂

Bike components €215 today… Bike discount do the same package with the crank thrown in for €234..but you need to add a chainring..(superstar 25% off today)

But the package isn’t in stock at the moment with bike discount!!!!

But that would give you 1×11 for less than £200 (excluding shipping)

Edit: or you can just buy the XT ring along with the package for another €38, still less than £200 excluding shipping..

Buy from Evans and you’ll also get a 20quid gift voucher tonuse by the end of the January sales at the moment…

Just got an m8000 cassette shifter and rear mech for £130 using discount code VCL10

where from? Evans?

answered my own question

Ta

I’m assuming you still get the vouchers, even though you used that code?

Not sure about the vouchers.. I was just after the 1x at a good price.

is it a long or medium cage for a 42 rear cassette?

Medium, worked like a dream on my first 1×11 trip out today

Just received an email saying my vouchers were being forwarded to me shortly..

ta very muchly 😀

Very tempted by that evans offer… Can’t find I spec B though, are they still not available?

All sorted cheers for the heads up.

1 x 11 XT for two bikes, grouped it into 3 orders, 2 orders consisting of a casstte and rear mech with 10% off and £20 voucher. Plus the other order for 2 x Shifters with the 10% off again and another £10 voucher. 🙂

Vouchers will buy the N/W chainrings after Chrimbo.

plus 4% off with top cash back. 🙂

Just got to sell all my XT 2x 10 stuff now. 🙄

damn you and that discount code. 117 for for shifter, chainring and mech. Then when the other 20 voucher comes it will be 115 for crank and chain ring. 6% quidco on both and the potential of another 20 voucher to show for it off the second transaction. Thats about 200 all in.
I had no intention of doing 1×11 yet, but thats a pretty good deal!

How are you getting to 117? It’s giving me 134

typo above. 117 is an odd combo of shifter, chainring and mech (not cassette), after using the VCL10 voucher. need to get cassette and cranks in 2nd order. Im idly hoping Hope release their 10-44 cassette in January and the other lot hit the 100 required to get the 20 voucher today.

just got my Voucher e mails and I used the VCL10 code, so it does work 😆

Just ordered my 11 speed cassette and mech, wish they had the xtr shifter in stock too!
