Road 11-sp. will also drop on backpedalling when on big ring (taking into account the tighter chainline of road cranks, probably somewhere between the two rings of a MTB 2x) and big rear sprocket, but 10-sp. is fine. So I'm guessing it's a combination of the wider inward offset of the cassette against the chainring/s and sprocket tooth shaping which is not optimised for going backwards & tends to shove the chain off.
removing a DS spacer will do exactly 3/8ths of fuck all on a sram crank. the NDS bearing is what locates the crank, all the DS does is move the bearing closer to the spider.
It does if you add the spacer to nds side, as I did.
You didn't mention that, spatchcock.
No, I didn't. You needn't assume the fuckwit option though. Do you know who you're talking to?
It must be wrong!
I'm hoping that 27.5+ makes an appearance.
Best place is in the UK.
Thought as much, thanks.
This almost certainly doesn't help you if you've already got the shifter, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that the 1x11 shifter that arrived today actually had the cover plate in the box. I was expecting to have to pay silly amounts of postage for a $1 part, but thankfully Shimano have managed to sort themselves out in the end. No idea why they failed at this so badly from the outset.
Thanks for the heads up. I've bought a new drive train out of Japan. Judging by the price it's old stock. I therefore doubt very much that I will be so lucky. I have just bought a cover plate through UK ebay, if I am lucky enough to have an additional cover once the bits arrive, I sell it on. Plenty of takers I'm sure.
Should have taken your advice back in September last year when you said to go 1x11 rather than fart around with wide range cassettes. You were right, damn you!:doh:
Tell me more of this Japanese site?
Sorry mate, sounds alot more exotic than what it is. Jumped on US Ebay and bought off a Japanese seller. Bout the same price as the T7 upgrade kit with 42 tooth cassette and bar mount shifter.
What type of price are you talking? I'm just not sure why there'd be anyone trying to shift 'old stock' cheap - the M8000 drivetrain is still the current version, so it's not like it's become out of date and lost value. Aside from the Di2 version, there's no replacement for that drivetrain in sight either, so no need to try to run out old stock.
Upgrade kit specifically, I got the M8000 Shifter, cassette, mech and chain for $280 del. That's the best price I could find.
