XT m8100/SLX m7100

[Grootgert]

My entire SLX m675 2×10 drivetrain on my Trance is due for replacement due to wear. While I am at it, I may as well upgrade. I recently got a new 2019 frame on a warranty claim, so it will be worth my while.

Does anybody know when the XT 8100 or SLX 7100 1×12 upgrade kits will become available locally?

CWC and Evobikes will probably be able to answer you

And you can choose your own 12 speed cassette and chain then...

Thanks Naas! I will check it out now. Depending on the price, I may prefer to go 7100. Any idea when to expect that?

[Grootgert]

Thanks Naas, I will go check everything on the site now.

1x11 will be cheaper

No sh!t 

 

What's your point?

[Grootgert]

1x11 will be cheaper

I'm a big guy, if I go to 1x I will need all the gears I can get.

What wheels do you have?

Are they upgrade able to Shimano Microspline ?  i.e. DT Swiss hub ?

Or

Will you go E-Thirteen 9-50 cassette (with Sram XD) ?

Or

Will you go Sunrace 11-50 which fits on a std Shimano freehub ?

 

Also check that if you are using your current wheels on the new frame that they are compatible (Boost spacing etc)

When Giant replaced my frame I had to upgrade the rear hub to boost. The rest of the questions I cannot answer. That is the reason why I am reluctant to buy online. I would prefer to go to my local shop and get them to order the correct stuff from their suppliers and fit it for me. The local shops say these components are not yet available to them through their suppliers. That was the real reason for my enquiry. I can still wait a while though...

You forgot to add any SRAM 12 speed cassette to this list as well...

Naas, forgive my ignorance. I didn't see any XT 1x 12 speed cranksets on the site. There was a XT 1x 11 speed though. Would it make any difference, is a 1x 32 crankset compatable with 11 speed and 12 speed?

Yes the XT 11 speed chainrings is 100% compatible with other 1 x 12 cassettes/chains.  New 12 speed crankset  is available - chainrings will be loaded later today.

XT 12 speed chain however only compatible with XT 12 speed chainrings and XT 12 speed cassette...

Thanks Naas!

I would go 1x11 with a 50t cog. The 12 is great but I can't recall wanting that extra gear. And being a big guy... Maybe a x11 will be better. More pin material to wear through than the x12.
