12sp XT or XTR hubs

Conceded. I remember thumb shifters and the original Shimano STI levers. Faark!

They arrived late for me. My first proper MTB had non indexed shifters

And bull moose handlebars?

Most people use their index finger for the release shift, saving the thumb for downshifting....

Most un, non, not ergonomic thing ever!

I was forced to do it on a Microshift shifter recently and still have nightmares / fantom wrist pain from it!

I haven't ridden them yet!!! From conversations here I decided that I needed to change the front chainring in order to run the SLX chain. So I ordered an Absolute Hyperglide+ oval and after a week the place I ordered it from confirmed with me that they couldn't supply. So I've ordered another from MTB Direct and I'm hoping, after 10 fucking days, that Aus post might finally decide they want to deliver it today. So, long story short, I should finally get it all together this weekend. Then I'll let you know

How are they going now? Had to service them yet?

Going great. I have to admit the rear did start to creak, but after being forewarned here, I took the hub interface apart and greased it and haven't had an issue since. That was a couple of months ago and a fair few dusty rides and washes in between.... I'd still recommend them
