Just wanted that granny gear for those steep climbs, I'm getting stronger but want to make a smooth transition into 1x10

Not so much as a purchase, but a gift.... a special gift... in any case it's a lot more interesting to look at than 72 black DTSwiss revolution spokes...

This will be our Christmas tree this year...

 

 

Got it at a market in the neighbourhood yesterday. They do line-dancing at the market. It was a win-day all-round.

Collecting tomorrow

Myles how is this setup treating you?

Thinking about going GX shifter and RD with a sunrace cassette. Works out quite reasonable.

Don't know yet. Getting the cassette today, as Coolheat needed to get the cassette to the shop and couldn't deliver by the time I collected the rest of the stuff.

 

From what I've felt though, the GX kit is BEAUTIFUL. Crisp shifts (it's all mounted apart from the cassette and chain) and a wonderful shifting action. 

 

The only reason I went shimano cassette is cos the XD driver for my hub would have pushed it slightly over budget. Plus there's no reason not to mix and match cassettes & chains with different shifting mechanics. SRAM reps even recommend it to keep cost down. Shimano have been building cassettes for a LOOOONG time.

Cost wise the xt11 and gx seem about the same, can save a bit on a sunrace 11-42 cassette though so was thinking about getting one of those to go with it.
