1-Price - Eye wateringly, sphincter clenchingly expensive

4- will it be Shimanos first 12 sped chain - Can't see how it won't be

 

I'm pretty confident about no. 1, a bit less so about no. 4.

I'm going to the local launch on Monday.  Maybe we'll get pricing details then, should definitely get all the info about it then too.

Std Shimano practice is a 7-12%increase over previous generation xtr at launch. Xtr m9000 gets discounted and then after a year prices for m9100 will start to be discounted...

 

 

Then they launch xt

then 12 years later they launch SLX?

 

Best thing SRAM did was launch GX 12spd so early in the game, would be great if Shimano did the same with SLX

Ja, maybe... will have to see. Still more splines than that, tho. 

 

The splines also only look to be about as long as the threaded section of an XD driver (ie not the full length of the cassette). Just what we needed - another "standard".

 

Anyone else think that crank spindle looks bigger than 24mm?

10-45t and 10-51t .... welcome to the 12spd party Shimano, would like to see how they get the 10t to work on a std shimano type f/hub body, or are we looking at a new body?

 

UM...I'm sure they'll just use their Capreo freehubs. Been around for AGES!!!!

can go as low as 9t on the Capreo cassette

can go as low as 9t on the Capreo cassette

well how about that!

[JA-Q001]

Now see, if shimano was to be really spiteful, they will have changed the gear spacing not to match SRAM 12 spd spacing. This would mean that you cannot combine the great shifting of shimano, with the super light cassette of SRAM, basically forcing you to change to their freehub in order to run 12 spd.

 

Let's hope that they weren't nasty.

What time zone are we waiting for to wake up before we get an update?

 

This is turning into a long and drawn out reveal!
