geecee Posted June 6, 2013 Share what the title says. Can I drop in an SLX rear cassette in place of the XT.I have full XT everything else, just wondered if there would be any issues. money is a factor, hence the question, else I would just get XT again alternatively does anyone have a second hand set floating around that is still usable thanks Edited June 6, 2013 by geecee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted June 6, 2013 Share ...serious answer... yes you can. As long as the number of sprockets is the same. Heck, you can even put a SRAM cassette on. Try match your tooth count though, or you might have to shorten/lenghten your chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff.rich Posted June 6, 2013 Share Isn't the SLX cassette made of harder wearing metal than the XT too? Meaning it should last longer although slightly heavier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimby Posted June 6, 2013 Share I always downgrade to SLX cassettes - much better value for money... dirtrider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetapson Posted June 6, 2013 Share Go find the heaviest steel cassette you can find. It will last multiple times as long as an expensive one for a fraction of the price and the weight cost of two mouthfulls of water... I commute, 's what I do.
