Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 29, 2016 Share Cannot wait for Shimano to go 1 x 12. On the Di2, it is a simple software upgrade with new cluster and chain. Bring it on, apparently soon, soon...that's another reason I like the potential of going electronic. No more pull ratios, no more cables. Just a simple upgrade of software and the cassette / chain. FAR more cost effective. EDIT: If only it were cheaper. Edited March 29, 2016 by Myles Mayhew Johan A Marais 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted March 29, 2016 Share On that particular note, what anyone else chooses to do with their Rondt or Dollar, or what have you, is entirely up to them.And, I want to paint his yoohoo gooooooold...problem is that if the big spenders go large and always accept the spiraling costs as "acceptable" it just screws over the rest of us poor plebs who cringe at the price of a simple tube or entry level deore 10spd cassette (R790.00 BTW for a deore cassette with the updated pricing from shimano) ....... things are getting to a point where I am thinking to sell all the bikes and build up a rough and rugged do-it-all hardtail running (think Hungry Monkey or On-One 456 650b frame) as a SS with the option of using gears on occasion if the need arises.

Meezo Posted March 29, 2016 Share My question is this: Will Shimano react and also go that route, after doing so much for riders with the M8000 11speed series?Or will they do what any sane industry would do and invest in creating an economy of scale, allowing a trickle down to SLX level 11 speed drivetrains? i think the fact that Shimano is still doing the 2x drive-trains is that they don't need to react. They also have the electronic shifting... don't forget Shimano 2x11 won the cape epic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V12man Posted March 29, 2016 Share Why? No wires. No faff. No internal or external routing. A clean frame and bar setup. Bring it on.AND - stronger shifts if it's anything like DI2 - that motor puts more force on the DR than the cable can for muddy/dirty conditions etc. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
