Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 That's NOT what I was asking. I'm referring to the spacing between the SRAM and Shimano 11s MTB cassettes. If not, you won't be able to use SRAM 11s with Shimano 11s cassette Spacing is the same. Confirmed via multiple sources that you can use shimano on sram and vice versa, even though the official marketing material doesn't say it does.
Flowta Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Spacing is the same. Confirmed via multiple sources that you can use shimano on sram and vice versa, even though the official marketing material doesn't say it does. Fair enough, that is the question I was asking. I know it's true for 8, 9, 10 speed, but wasn't sure because of the SRAM hub arrangement. I haven't researched it hence the question.

If anything the xt rd would need a bit more fettling to get it to adapt to the 10t if you decide to go shimano guts and sram cassette, but I don't see that being that much of an issue beyond adjusting the b screw a bit.
johanpre44 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Any idea which option will be cheaper (assuming that I already have a wheel set with XD and regular cassette body)? I always find SRAM RD's more expensive than Shimano. Personally I don't think the issue is with the 11t side of the cassette, but rather the 42t side. I would rather have a bigger ring in the front (like 36t) and have a nice climbing/granny gear, oh and a nice spread of gears in between. Think you will spend much more time in the climbing/driving gears than the ones for speed (and if you spend more time on the speed gears, just go bigger at the front). I'm also wondering if there is plans to take 11 speed to the SLX drive-train.
Baaisikilist Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Assuming you already have an XD driver (I got one with the powertap wheel I bought from a fellow hubber, but am still running 10 speed XT), Leonardi have just come out with a 9/42 cassette option, beating e13 to market. I wonder if I run that with the new 11s XT shifter and dérailleur, with a 32t NW chainring on my existing 10s XT crank, everything will work fine.

That is one mega compelling reason to go XD. An 18% difference in ratios at the top end. Means you can run a 28t up front and be able to climb Kili, yet STILL have a better bottom end than a guy with a 34 up front and 11 out back.
Knersboy Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Looking for some help guys. I want to upgrade to 2x11. Currently running XT 785 24-38 crankset and I am not keen on changing that. Shimano XT 8000 recommend a maximum spacing of 10t between chainrings in their 2x11 setup. I can't find the exact SRAM maximum figure but the GX 2x11 crankset is 24-36, which is closer to what I have so I have decided to go with GX shifter and dérailleur and XT 11-40 cassette. Now the questions. Can I use my current crankset and should I go for long or medium cage dérailleur?
stephan99 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I saw that OneUp is working on a 10-45 11speed cassette that FITS the standard freehub. Thats something I would consider with a XT build instead of the XT cassette. Depends on pricing. Here is the link: http://m.pinkbike.com/news/spotted-oneup-prototypes-crankworx-whistler-2015.html
raptor-22 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Gx 11 Because sram doesn't require a special cable with a coating that peels off within weeks and then gums up your cable housing blocking all movement of your shifter
feetup Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Sram-one and only.Others will follow-many will fail.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 medium will be best.better tension and smooth shiftingWhat's the capacity of the med cage, cos with his setup he'll have a spread of 43 teeth, which I think puts it in the long cage territory
Baaisikilist Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Full groupset wise, how much is the Shimano group, which includes brakes (but not rotors), and how much is the SRAM one, which doesn't include brakes or rotors...?
Mada3400 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Both. GX drivetrain, Xt cassette. in my opinion thats not a bad idea, even though, chances are a shimano cassette will be significantly cheaper than the GX casette, and the smaller range is less of a problem than people think it is. ive heard unfit riders say that the hill kill 42t gear they put on their 1x10 setup was too low anyway, im not that fit and my 32t chainring is plenty for everything this side of being faster than walking... my play would be to get the GX system with a shimano casette and a 34t chainring.

I'm gonna go 30t/11-40 for now.
raptor-22 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I'd love to see how they fit the 10t sprocket on a shimano freehub. Only way is to integrate it into the lock ring
