We are getting seriously close to the 1st of April. Let me be the fool, let's wait the price?

None the less, my next upgrade!

$600 for the upgrade kit so expect RRP of around R12k-R13k relative to R22-R23k for XX1

very nice but when is Sram going to do something about those Top gears 42-52 gap is just crazy

The classic overpriced SA retail market again. Rest of the world = $600, ...SA...$830....coz you know, (long list of excuses).

I'm sick of my XTR 12 SPD, but now if I want to go for this groupset, I'll have to buy a new cassette, possibly also a freehub ?

 

I'm quite happy with my Force AXS, the worst component being the brakes imo. So why not AXS also on my MTB, that will probably solve my shifting issues on my scalpel that I love on all the other aspects (than the *** shifting)

 

 

So pretty much going from aluminium to steel saves 400$ ? They get their aluminium from space ??

Ooh, definitely on my list of parts to buy. I won't be one of the first 250, but when that second shipment arrives I'll be on it like white on rice. 

[Dexter-morgan]

Hopefully, I can score a bargain with some used Mechanicals coming to the second hand market very soon.

oh yeah ? Interesting.. my XT Cassette is brand new, would be *** to have a spend 5 to 10k on a new GX/XX1 cassette

So I'm also assuming that my chainring will be compatible with and XX1 chain / GX derailer ?

You should be able to just replace the shifter and derailleur. I'd keep a Shimano chain on the Shimano cassette though (although it's not strictly necessary it should provide better shift quality).
