dewaldsss Posted May 29, 2019 Share Saw this last night on InstagramShimano 12 speed SLX.Looks like 12 speed on a budget, just wondering if you will need the new Micro-spline freehub for this as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilton. Posted May 29, 2019 Share Looks very cool, lots of people been waiting for this, me included. Its not clear, but looks like a 10 tooth small cassette sprocket, meaning yes it will likely need the new Micro-spline free-hub, unfortunately.

MORNE Posted May 29, 2019 Share Makes sense now why i could get a whole SLX 1x11 drivetrain including cranks(32T) for the wife the past weekend for R3.5k lol. The upgrade kits are selling for 2.2k. (cwc)Get them while they are considered "old and crap and outdated" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtypot Posted May 29, 2019 Share SLX 12sp before XT 12sp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypot Posted May 29, 2019 Share I count 11T on the small sprocket, so no microspline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted May 29, 2019 Share I count 11T on the small sprocket, so no microspline. I hope you are right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewaldsss Posted May 29, 2019 Share I count 11T on the small sprocket, so no microspline. Nope, looks like a 10t I think the statement for the micro-spline epic fail is that you are still limited to hub options.I'm sure Shimano will launch the SLX hubs with the needed freehub, but I'm not a fan of their hubs.

RobertWhitehead Posted May 29, 2019 Share 1x12 on Shimano means cheaper prices on the 1x11 - SCORE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtypot Posted May 29, 2019 Share Nope, looks like a 10t. I've drawn little lines where I count the teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_the_wheelbuilder Posted May 29, 2019 Share Microspline hubs are now available from quite a few brands: Damil components in Italy, Industry9 and DT Swiss. I built a microspline wheelset the other day with Damil hubs and they seem really nice, at similar price to Hope hubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
