    Just wondering how you’re getting on with it and if you find that ypu make use of the dinner plate at the rear 50T 😬?

    Does the shifter really shift nice crispy & light?

    Was it as simple as fitting the cassette to an 11speed hub?

    Oh and the all important what did you pay? As prices seem to vary a lot from STW review and even online prices.

    I remember seeing a television programme about penguins standing on the edge of an ice floe waiting to jump into the sea to go fishing.  They were nervous about doing so in case there were lurking seals to attach them.  It appeared that sometimes a penguin would push a neighbour in to test the water.

    Saw groupset on eBay for £225, think it was from proper bike shop but forgot to look closely.

    Yep… https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/granarycycles-uk-ltd/m.html?ssPageName=&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2654

    But looks like I bought only available set 😀

    I will report back as soon as I will have it delivered.

    Not got the 12 speed but have 11 speed 50-11 as an upgrade on my Whyte. The 50 was very useful when at altitude in the sierra nevada!

    Didn’t realise it was available yet.

    Although you’ll probably be able to pick up NX 12 speed for a similar price.

    Are the cage plates on the derailleur meant to be carbon or metal or what?

    Just the stw review iirc showed it was carbon bit when infact taking it out the box appears to be alloy.

    Thanks bud – it would seem that mine is a MX60.

    I am still alright with that though as thought the deal would have included the carbon version. Damn suppose can’t have it all 😜

    Tdog was yours off eBay as a groupset? I am tempted to see how the cheap one compares to the MZ80.

    I can get you a groupset but is either with the MS30 rear derailleur or the expensive MZ80, the other is currently not in stock for me

    How much is the groupset with MZ80 I wonder?


    @stu
    – I can’t seem to link from moby but try a search.

    MZ80 groupset the price for your groupset plus difference in price of your derailleur & MZ80 one. As a rough guide.

    Any reports on how this is shifting out on the trails? It’s starting to filter through into the shops now..

    Hi,

    Just managed to put my one on the bike. Still haven’t finished as found out my current NW chainring is too fat for 12 speed… In the end not surprised as it was prototype Banless stainless steel chainring for 10 speed only.

    Anyways…

    Managed to put all thing avaialable together but was rather surprised with the fact how much play there was between rear mech bolt and mech hanger. Initially though that it was hanger but nope, looks like there is degree of wobble in the mech itself…

    My one is middle of the pack, RDMX60 if that helps… Anybody else seen anything like that?

    Cheers!

    I’m running the 11-50 12 speedcasserole with SRAM , had to wind out the b screw a bit but works fine, no shifting issues

    I noticed a bit of play in my rear mech out riding yesterday, tighten up the mech bolt & all was good. Mines the MZ80. currently running it on a sunrace 11-46 11 speed cassette with 11 speed KMC chain & Sram X1 11 speed shifter, all works great. So yes compatible with Sram, however have to fine tune the Limit screw for good shifting

    I had another inspection of the rear derailleur with the wheel off. There is a tiny bit of movement between the mech hanger & what Sram calls the B-bolt kit. I recently had to rebuild my Sram GX rear derailleur with the B-Bolt kit due to bent B-screw, it’s almost like the derailleur is missing a crush washer. Still shifts great though.

    Hows everyone getting on with this? My GF is considering changing from 2×10 to a 1x groupset, and the sunrace 12speed groupset can now be had for 200 pounds, but its an unknown for me, and i’d be worried to reccomend it to her without peoples experience. Does anyone know if it could then be used on shimano derailer in the future?

    Dunno yet but having just had bike completed today, and a v short ride up road & back. Shifting is infinitely sweeter than XT.

    I’ll report back …
