Tomik Posted May 26, 2017 Share Then there was the poor oke on the 100 miler this weekend who had Eagle Gold and dropped his chain on an uphill district road.... Had a good chuckle when passing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongoose! Posted May 26, 2017 Share Gx 11 speed cassette now retails for R2500. (Still makes me look in the direction of the SLX upgrade kit for R2899...lol) Wonder what a GX 12 speed cassette will go for once released... if released... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongoose! Posted May 26, 2017 Share I upgraded to Eagle X0 from XO 2 x 10 as my drivetrain was shot. I think it is an incredible groupset. Very happy with my decision.But this topic was started because replacing the cassette in future will cost you R7000.Cassettes wear. Question is : Will you still be that happy after droping R7k on a cassette and not budgeted for it...eish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demand will be HUGE.I would strongly consider switching my 1x11 XT drivetrain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicoBoshoff Posted May 26, 2017 Share Saw a post on Instagram which showed the XO1 Eagle cassette weighing 4g LESS than the XX1... All that glitters is not gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted May 26, 2017 Share Hot on the heels of SRAM’s crazy Eagle 12 speed cassette, Shimano has just unveiled the frankly insane 14 speed cassette, shifter and mech combo at their high-end XT level.That’s FOURTEEN. One, Four. 14!As you know SRAM recently released the formidable 12 speed Eagle drive train, abolishing the front mech and setting themselves as the forward thinker in the transmission world.But in a slightly uncharacteristic move Shimano has pulled off a hell of a move.We knew their recent silence wouldn’t last. reminds me of this one http://www.theonion.com/blogpost/****-everything-were-doing-five-blades-11056 and it flippen happened too!

Mongoose! Posted May 26, 2017 Share Why cant the third party role players (Sunrace ; e thirteen ect.) See this gap and start coming to the party with realistic priced cassettes. Being proactive.Or can it be that Sram can have some kind of "legal right / patent rate" on 12 XD driver cassettes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being proactive.Or can it be that Sram can have some kind of "legal right / patent rate" on 12 XD driver cassettes?I don't think it has anything to do with the XD driver as companies like E-Thirteen manufacture cassettes using the XD driver... It is quite strange that no aftermarket 12 speed cassettes has come out yet. Maybe there is not a big enough market for it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadenceblur Posted June 3, 2017 Share I bought the e thirteen 9-46. Very happy with that. Nice wide range for every obstacle you can encounter...and less expensive...Hi What chain length are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arendoog Posted June 3, 2017 Share Yes this is a super cool groupset but is it worth getting it being a non sponsored rider. Seeing that replacing the cassette will set me back 7k. Will it last that much longer than a XT cassette at R2700Or a Sunrace cassette at R1300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
