Christie Posted March 24, 2016 Share ...and if you crack a rim, you can always McGuyver by riding home using the 50 sprocket as a wheel to finish the race.

Jaco-fiets Posted March 24, 2016 Share Going from 2 x 10 to 1 x 11 made plenty sense to me as the fd was mostly a issue in muddy conditions. 1 x 11 has all the gears I need so honestly don't know what the benefit of 1 x 12would be? Never felt I needed any more gears than what is available on the 1 x 11 raptor-22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eon du Plessis Posted March 24, 2016 Share Still on 3x9. This should make 1x11 more affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joaquim Carneiro Posted March 24, 2016 Share I'm with BaGearA on this one. It's getting ridiculous 50T at the rear. Something new to sell to us upgrade obsessed cyclists. If you think you need a 50T at the back stick too a 2-10/11 setup, far cheaper in the long run save the cash for a worthwhile upgrade and if you're buying it because it looks the ducks nuts "which it does" then hey enjoy. Here's getting to top before you. ???? (11-40 / 34T) Halfdoesyn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted March 25, 2016 Share Weights shown here: http://www.bikerumor.com/2016/03/24/sram-xx1-x01-eagle-specs-actual-weights/#comments It looks from the numbers as if everything got heavier, except the crank. I recently went from 9s to 11s, Im going to pas 12 and wait for 13s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi Pollard Posted March 25, 2016 Share I wonder which ring Jaro is going to ride with this. He did the one world cup on a 38t with the 11 speed so they'll probably have to custom make something for him. That guy is power!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanpre44 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Impressive weight, thought the cassette was going to be more than 500g. All that machining on the cassette is probably why the price is so crazy (over R20k in SA?). I still prefer my dependable 2x10 at the moment, mainly because the maintenance cost is so much lower.

I still prefer my dependable 2x10 at the moment, mainly because the maintenance cost is so much lower.That was one of my concerns as well when I converted to 1x11, but to my surprise the parts have lasted a lot longer than the 2x10 counterparts. I got 3500km out of my first 11s chain and the second one is on 2800km now. I a still on my first cassette and only changed the front ring when I converted to Oval. Yes the parts are more expensive but they last a lot longer which levels the playing field again... raptor-22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
