TheoG Posted October 25, 2020 Author Posted October 25, 2020 That is something I’m considering. R4000 upgrade Cassette + microspline body Yip, eina, thats why I'm still stuck on 11sp. Just cant justify spending to go to 12sp YET ...
BMXER Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Been riding sram eagle axs. Was on xtr for 10 plus years and will never go back. The electric derailleur is brilliant.
RobertWhitehead Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 My XT rear mech and shifter has over 4000km on it and I have not had any issues. Maintenance is key TheoG, T_Boss and ChrisF 3
DieselnDust Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 My XT rear mech and shifter has over 4000km on it and I have not had any issues. Maintenance is key XX1 rear derailleur, shifter and cassette have over 12000km on them. Zero issues.If you use the XX1 chains the cassette can probably last another 12Kkm
T_Boss Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Yes, sorry, my comment hinged on you running XT. XT is in my opinion well and trully bullet proof. SLX is better than SX or NX (which are both really crap), but dont hold up well against GX. However, if it was my money being spent on an upgrade, I would go XT - Just replace your current SLX mech with an XT, and leave everything else as is. DieselnDust 1

Zero issues.If you use the XX1 chains the cassette can probably last another 12KkmDiesel, why would/does the XX1 chain make such a difference? FWIW, I ran the same GX RD/cassette combo for about 10k km without issues. Although I haven't had problems with my XT either. DieselnDust 1
DieselnDust Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Diesel, why would/does the XX1 chain make such a difference? FWIW, I ran the same GX RD/cassette combo for about 10k km without issues. Although I haven't had problems with my XT either. The rollers and pins are harder than the GX chains.I get about 2000km from a GX chain and and XO1 chain on my previous bike. Then an XX1 and it lasted around 5-6000kmon y current bike I've gone through 2 XX1 chains in a little over 12000km. 3rd chain is currently fittedThe XX1 cassettes also have a harder coating but my XO1 cassette has lasted very well so I reckon using the best chain is a big factor in the longevity of the drivetrain MudLark 1
RobertWhitehead Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 See my XT mech only has 4000km on it because I've only done 4000km to date . XX1 rear derailleur, shifter and cassette have over 12000km on them. Zero issues.If you use the XX1 chains the cassette can probably last another 12Kkm DieselnDust 1
