Piernas Flacas Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Howzit guys - I'm in the process of upgrading my 2014 Silverback components. Currently I have a Deore FH-M595 hub with a HG62 10 speed cassette. I believe the new 12 speed cassettes are micro spline. Would it be possible and worth to replace the freehub body only or should I stick to what I got? I'm replacing the whole groupset including brakes, shifters, crankset, etc and my budget is about R6500. Looking for an SLX upgrade, if possible, or else Deore.
DieselnDust Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 you will want to consider the Sunrace cassette options as these will fit on your freehub.Microspline is not compatible with your current hubs and there isn't a XD driver for the Shimano hubs either
Piernas Flacas Posted September 6, 2019 Author Posted September 6, 2019 Will check Sunrace as well, thanks!
Jehosefat Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 I really don't think you are going to find a complete 12 speed groupset for under 6.5k if you are looking for brakes etc. As far as I know Shimano haven't rolled 12 speed down below SLX and the XT groupset including brakes etc. is almost 20k. Not sure about SRAM options though but I doubt they will be much cheaper than the equivalent Shimano sets.
Piernas Flacas Posted September 6, 2019 Author Posted September 6, 2019 Maybe I should stick to Deore 3 x 10 then.
CdT85 Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Why noy try 1x11? I have the sunrace mx8 11-50 cassette paired with a m7000 gs slx rd, slx chain and m8000xt shifter. Kit cost less than R3k5, and works on my normal shimano splined hubs
David Marshall Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 My opinion - stick with what you have because you will not only have to change the groupset but the rear wheel as well. A FH-M595 hub "used" since 2014 is unlikely to have much life left in it.
Motard660 Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Why noy try 1x11? I have the sunrace mx8 11-50 cassette paired with a m7000 gs slx rd, slx chain and m8000xt shifter. Kit cost less than R3k5, and works on my normal shimano splined hubs Great advise!!! If you would like to change, go 1 x 11!! Not that expensive and you would have some money left to add to that wheel set
Piernas Flacas Posted September 6, 2019 Author Posted September 6, 2019 Thank you for your comments, guys. I'll consider each one of them.

Stephen Colton Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 A 32 NW would work beautifully with the 11 50 or a 34 if your legs are stronger than mine????

DieselnDust Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 dude just fit a Sunrace 12s cassette and get the rear derailleur and shifter of your choice.Forget phafffing with 1x10 and 1x11. a 32T NW chainring, and get something like this: https://www.buycycle.co.za/mountain-bike/sunrace-12-speed-upgrade-kit/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIka-Z3-a85AIVB7LtCh2jCgltEAQYASABEgKpyvD_BwE
