Patchelicious Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 What about the people coming off 10 speed ?Exactly. Not many people will switch from 11s XT to 12s GX, but those who only had one choice when upgrading before (XT) now have 2 options.
Mongoose! Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 still wondering if I should pull the trigger on this 12 speed stuff or should I wait a few months for them 13 speed...
BaGearA Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 still wondering if I should pull the trigger on this 12 speed stuff or should I wait a few months for them 13 speed... or go buy A pinion gearbox and belt drive ....18 gears 800% range I have wet dreams about bikes with gearboxes
Plentipotential Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 When ever I read these releases on new products I get the impression that the marketing department are trying to make the consumer believe that he/she will be instantly transported to a higher level on the new technology. When all is said and done the pedals still need to be turned, regardless of the tech behind the drive train. How much easier will a 3K cassette make the hill compared to my 9 speed XT cassette?

I have been in my granny many times when A "Oom" comes past on his single speed....rider , rider , rider
Mongoose! Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 or go buy A pinion gearbox and belt drive ....18 gears 800% range I have wet dreams about bikes with gearboxes All of a sudden my 11 speed GX groupset and Ultegra 6800 groupset on my road bike are out of date ...
BaGearA Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 All of a sudden my 11 speed GX groupset and Ultegra 6800 groupset on my road bike are out of date ... Been around for long now , getting a frame that takes a gearbox is the problem
lechatnoir Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 All of a sudden my 11 speed GX groupset and Ultegra 6800 groupset on my road bike are out of date ... Yip... the only course of action is to delete you Hub account. sorry man
FCH Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 What about the people coming off 10 speed ?Fair pointWhat about the people coming off 10 speed ?
Hairy Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 It seems that nobody can launch anything these days that attracts positive commentary. Shame, life must be ***.this was a fun launch still wondering if I should pull the trigger on this 12 speed stuff or should I wait a few months for them 13 speed... up to you if you want to pull the trigger or grip the shift to 12spd ...choices
T-Bob Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Since my new bike came with Eagle XX, I am pretty chuffed to now have access to a NZ$250 cassette, far nicer than the $750 XX one! Not that I have been doing any riding, so my cassette is shiny and new still. Don't ride it, you got to keep that looking prime for all the instagram posts you're going to put out.
NotSoBigBen Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Like @Patchelicious I am also in the camp of loving all the choices, to each his own I reckon! Ride what you want you really don't have to justify it to anyone here or elsewhere (besides your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/partner I guess)
Pure Savage Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 It seems that nobody can launch anything these days that attracts positive commentary. Shame, life must be ***.That ultegra looked the bees knees!
EmptyB Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 It seems that nobody can launch anything these days that attracts positive commentary. Shame, life must be ***. To me this is a bloody marvellous option. Definitely ordering this puppy....time to go 12 with a bigger chain ring up front. Love your work Sram!!
Whatsup! Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Next thing you know, some clever guy will come up the a clever way to run muliple chain rings to give us a big gear ratio and not have to worry about swapping out chain rings before every event. ^^^^ this is why I dont get 1 x 11, unless you want a reason to have discusions on the Hub about what size chainring to run.1 x 12 now whis is something I would be interested in, but maybe when the cheaper XT version arrives one dayIs is Friday yet
sirmoun10goat Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 I wonder how much negativity Shimano would get if they launched their own 12x casette - I dont see much hating on the 'shimano ultegra R9000' forum And the R9000 is definitely not the price of that groupset
