B ROCK Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 Hi, Taking my MTB in for KCNC 9-52 upgrade tomorrow. Shimano XT, Hope XD Drive. Let you know. ;-)HiHas anyone fitted the KCNC cassette to a Hope XD driver? I know the e13 needs a special spacer for the Hope XD driver, wondering if the KCNC does to? Im considering putting one on my gravel bike. I want to run a 46t up front and KCNC on the rear.

Gav.S Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Just a note when using a new chain is to remove the factory oil used to protect the chain during its shelf life. The oil is incredibly tacky and causes links to jump on the smaller cogs of the cassette. Dump the new chain in some paraffin, dry it off, lube up with your normal lube and away you go. I had the chain skipping problem on a brand new SRAM cassette and chain combo and this solved it.Gav.

The cassette does look good though but I'd avoid it. Poor reviews everywhere Woud have been a nice race day option. gabaruk have alternatives but pricey https://www.garbaruk.com/12-speed-xd.html?category=2 Edited July 20, 2021 by DieselnDust W@nted 1
