Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Which hubs are compatible with micro drive?DT at this pointOnly DT Swiss 240S at this point. Any other hub and you need to buy a DT Swiss or Shimano hub. Maybe Shimano will license the freehub to others in time but that isn't the case for this or the next model year. CORRECT. Licensing agreements to come, but as it's a brand new standard expect this to take, oh, about 6 months to ayear to be fully supported. Manufacturers would be crazy not to adopt it as an alternative option. Other cassette options? Sunrace isn't anywhere close to the quality of SRAM 12speed offerings. Actually, it is. The SUNRACE cassette is exactly the same item as the BOX cassette, apart from the lockring. They're also considerably cheaper and last almost as long. And which Eagle cassette? The GX? XX1? X01? NX? GX is reportedly giving issues in shifting, and even it is an order of magnitude more expensive than a Sunrace. Shimano xt is currently 11speed. Yes. Xt8x00 will be like XTR, 12 speed. The 11s system doesn't have the range so pull another one from the hat All that 11sp is "lacking" is the 10t and then 2% on the 51. 11-50 is perfectly fine, but the 12sp Sunrace has been here for a while. Yeah, that "obsolescence" is apparent, and real.
Quagga Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Yeah, that "obsolescence" is apparent, and real. The 12 Speed 11-50 has been around for almost a year now
Patchelicious Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 My 2 x 11 XTR has been obsolete for ages now. Can’t find parts anywhere, not sure what to do!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 The 12 Speed 11-50 has been around for almost a year now I clearly need more coffee. I knew that. Bah. Thanks, Quagga.

Patchelicious Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Eagle Bro,...... Eagle.It’s already obsolete, I heard 1 x 13 is coming in 2020
DieselnDust Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 ya ya but don't tell everyone! It the 66 degree head angle in a sea of 67's
Headshot Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Yep geometry clearly has nothing to do with how a bike handles...Ya, none whatsoever:-). I see DnD might not be a fan of fashion or geo charts, but he is a fan of having the right groupset and components.
DieselnDust Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Ya, none whatsoever:-). I see DnD might not be a fan of fashion or geo charts, but he is a fan of having the right groupset and components. cant ride a bike without a groupset and wheels but you can ride a bike with "outdated" geometry.I mean I still ride a twitchy 69degree 29er with 700mm bars and a 100mm dropper...oh wait no dropper, its for servicing ........again. :/

Rather Deore on a new bike than XTR on an outdated geo frame.
Patchelicious Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 That's your analogy? Rather Deore on a new bike than XTR on an outdated geo frame.Go home with your hyperbole!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Go home with your hyperbole!I may just...

Dexter-morgan Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Gotta love the hub, an advice thread turns into a Brand saying thread and I know more than you, its not Friday yet! Lets stretch this out until Wednesday then we can fight on the day before a long week-end.
