No. As @JTmofo says, 12 speed Shitmano uses a new freehub and 12 speed SCRAM requires a different freehub too (XD).So I can't use my existing 10 speed 'fecked if i can remember what hub it is' with the new 12 speed

Don't want to derail the original thread - was going to start my own as my drivetrain wore out
If you can fit a direct mount ring, go smaller on the front, I run a 28t on the front of my Evil, 28:11 still gets moving at nearly 40kph on a brisk cadence, thats fast enough on any trails 99% of the time... and 100% of that, gravity is going your way too.want to have maximum range to help with my clapped out legs and lungs
Exactly...If you are regularly maxing out a 28T on a 29er, or a 30T on a 27.5...you need to spend less time on fireroads.If you can fit a direct mount ring, go smaller on the front, I run a 28t on the front of my Evil, 28:11 still gets moving at nearly 40kph on a brisk cadence, thats fast enough on any trails 99% of the time... and 100% of that, gravity is going your way too.
Guilty as charged.Cheapskate.
Sweet Jesus - I didn't consider that - I thought it would be too much of a lossExactly...If you are regularly maxing out a 28T on a 29er, or a 30T on a 27.5...you need to spend less time on fireroads.
Get in line palI’m planning to grab everyone’s 11sp Shimano as they drink the kool aide and ‘upgrade’ to 12sp.
Working well for me with xx1Get in line pal
Changing to a 30t from the 32t would be similar to having a 45T cassette with the current 32tIt's a 32t with a 42t rear and it's 26'' (yes, you read right)
I could keep the 10 speed (which I'd rather) and go down to a 30t and not lose too much?
They're kicking about but overpriced imo. Cost me $100 for a second hand 10spd drivetrain for my current build. You would have to triple that for an 11spd build, with the only benefit really being a 50t granny, if you were lucky.So where are all these 11sp Shimanos? How do you even build a bike from scratch at the moment?
So the only way to build a bike from scratch if either through stripping an existing well specced bike, or the second hand market?They're kicking about but overpriced imo.

Yep.So the only way to build a bike from scratch if either through stripping an existing well specced bike, or the second hand market?
Yes there was and it's pretty light too but many saying it's just as cheap as XT components?Yep.
Near new and new drivetrains are being pulled off bikes and are popping up on the buy sell pages regularly but asking prices are generally between $3-600
Wasn't there something on pinkbike about a micro shift 10spd drivetrain available new at a good price?
I'm just getting one ready to go but got a few items that are weighty and cheap like bottles of sealant, will post here what HiBike says in regards to the surcharge.Put in an order with Bike24 and Bike Components recently. Postage had gone up but it was still flat rate. They haven't dispatched yet.
