Thx guys, found out that xt hub is faulty. 2nd one and started again. Apparently it is a shimano factory fault. Now I have to change to a different make hub that will work with the shimano 1x12 cassette.

Jasper, where did you buy your hub?

I have changed my setup from a 2 x 10 to a 1 x 12 Shimano XT M8100 groupset. It is the Shimano XT hub that comes with the groupset. Both hubs are the same. No I am not installing it myself, because the wheel has to be rebuild. It was done by a cycling shop. Stans Crest MK3 wheelset.

I changed from 2x10 to 1x12 XT. I have had very bad luck with the Shimano rear hub. In 3 months both made terrible noise when pedalling hard. Shimano replaced the 1st one but second one did the same after cpl of km's. They say the Shimano rear hub is faulty and busy to see how they can sort it out. What is sad they know there is a problem with the hubs but still sell them. Waiting on to see what is going to happen next.

I want to know if anyone else has got any problems with this setup? I fitted the setup but the hub has been giving issues from day one on. Second hub and still issues. Terrible noise coming from the hub when pedaling hard.
