Shimano DEORE XT 11 speed and 1x11 option unveiled

[Fisan]

Does anybody have an idea when this will be available for purchase in RSA?

 

I suspect we should be able to pre-order by June. I'm keeping an eye on CWC's website...

forget about South Africa, when will it be available to Chain Reaction Cycles

That's more like it. An affordable 1X11 setup for the masses.

[Brawler]

Going to sell very well!

same price as the X1 cassette by itself. 

 

That gives it some perspective!

 

Hopefully I can sell my near-f****d mint-condition derailleur and shifter to contribute towards the set

and R 6 less if you go for a combo of XT cassette / GX bits.

That's why One-up has now announced a 45t rear cog for Shimano's new 1 x11 XT group. In the same way as the previous 42t extender, it goes inside the 11sp cassette and then you replace the 17t and 19t with a new 18t cog. You can do this with the new 11sp (11-40) XT cassette because it is not pinned or milled from a single block of material like their SRAM counterparts. The gears ramp more smoothly than the 11-42 10sp extended cassettes because the tooth gaps are more consistent between cogs. you still retain 11, 13,15 as the 3 smallest cogs so there is less of a cadence jump between the faster gears than the 10sp converted cassettes which went 11,13,16,19....

 

This all gets you within 3% of an XX1 cassette's range at a lower price without having to worry about XD freehub/driver issues.

The idea behind One-up's conversion is that, compared to XX1, the 45t granny allows you to run a bigger front chainring which in turn gives more speed in your smaller cogs, somewhat negating SRAM's 10t advantage.

I found a write-up on Pinkbike

Hi hubbers. Does anybody know when we will be able to purchase the 11speed xt parts in SA? At those prices its worth going that route instead of 1x10 with the 42t cassette adaptor and narrow wide chain ring.

We will be first to stock it....

All this new "relatively affordable" XT bling gives me some big itches  . . .  

 

Say suddenly, overnight I need to replace my current beaten up XT M785 crank

with one of them  shiny new  XT M8000 ones .  . .

Does it fit into the same bottom bracket as my current crank?

 

How do I know witch  chainline to choose 50mm or 53mm?  

[IH8MUD]

Perhaps a dumb question.

 

Must this New XT M8000 be used with the 11 speed chain?

10 speed Shimano chain will not work?

at competitive pricing to CRC, you can take my money!
