Jbr Posted March 26, 2021 Share 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 ?? Edited March 26, 2021 by Jbr DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted March 26, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbr Posted March 26, 2021 Share i ride my XX1 AXS with a XTR cassette no issuesoh yeah ? Interesting.. my XT Cassette is brand new, would be *** to have a spend 5 to 10k on a new GX/XX1 cassetteSo I'm also assuming that my chainring will be compatible with and XX1 chain / GX derailer ?

I'd keep a Shimano chain on the Shimano cassette though (although it's not strictly necessary it should provide better shift quality). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
