[usxorf]

Gx needs the xd hub and is pricier than shimano.

Please explain why the need for a 10-44.

 

What's wrong with a 11-36 and triple rings upfront?

 

Why the need for a diner plate size gear?

No one seems to want the "hassle" of an FD and left shifter...

That's bigger than the disc rotor.

I am just horrified at the price of a "consumable" cassette.. As it is I am paying R400 for my 9 speed cassettes....

The new E13 TRS+ cassette is available for 10 and 11-speed drivetrains and features ratios of 9-42 and 9-44.

By the time it gets here it will probably cost more than an XX1 cassette, R4300 for 10spd and R4740 for 11spd with direct exchange rate.

Does anyone have more info on hope's 10 speed 10/40T casette? Googling just bring up the same articles listed previoulsy and nothing on Hope's site

Get this instead 11-40T availible in SA for R2000 https://www.praxiscycles.com/product/cassette/

The last press / article on this stated that these hope wide range cassette will be available from mid-Jan 2016. However, I cannot find more recent info or any stock on any online site. Does anyone know more / when these will be available?

I have a question.

 

On the road bike orientated threads, 2x11 is considered an essential "upgrade" by the "experts" as it apparently eliminates a critical gap beween 15 and 17 tooth gears.

 

However, the manne recon that 1x10 or 1x11 is the dog's bollocks despite the 20% gap between ratios.

 

How does one square this circle?

When your wheels never leave the ground, you don't pump the bike and you only ride on a low resistance surface prepared for wheels..THEN those gaps are important.

FDs are not everybody's cup of tea. They require skill to operate and some inteligence to undersand the technical issues vs. marketing hype of 1x
