Donovan Le Cok Posted April 2, 2015 Share Where in the range does this fit? There is already a budget 1 x 11 SRAM option, the X1. Is it. XX1X01X1GX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke101 Posted April 2, 2015 Share and still no X-horizon tech filtering down to 10spd (non-DH ) rear mechs. fail. You should be able to use a 11spd RD & Shifter with your 10spd Cass. Will have to adjust your limit screw a bit. GoLefty!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 2, 2015 Share You should be able to use a 11spd RD & Shifter with your 10spd Cass. Will have to adjust your limit screw a bit.Won't work. Different actuation ratio. That's not what he's talking about tho. Would have been great to see the x sync tech come to 10sp as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been great to see the x sync tech come to 10sp as wellI know it's not what he's talking about, but it's a make shift second choice. It will work, if you are referring to the actuation ratio of shifter to derailleur they both 11spd. If you run a 11spd shifer and 11spd Derailleur with a 10spd Cassette. A 11spd Derailleur with a 10spd shifter and Cassette won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted April 2, 2015 Share If you reuse your current 1x converted crank/chainring (apparently the 11sp chain will work on any 10sp compatible chainring), for around R5k you can be doing 1x11 properly, new 1x11 RD, Cass, Shifter and Chain, all for about the price of just the XX1 cass. _David_ and rock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
