I was going to go back to 2x for the epic if I stay 1x that's what I would need and comes in at a much more palatable price for me. MmmmmI've got the shifter, rear mech and 11-42 cassette ordered for my new build. Wish it would hurry up n be mine...
And you can avoid those fugly cranks.I was going to go back to 2x for the epic if I stay 1x that's what I would need and comes in at a much more palatable price for me. Mmmmm
Why bother with new cranks?About $700 for the drive train group set with 2 x cranks from CRC. Might rethink it for a while getting all stingy in my old age
Correctus. Shimano reckon there's not really all that much to gain by going smaller than 11T at the top end, so don't do it. As such there's no question of compatibility with existing hubs, as the cassette (deja vu, we went through all this with XTR last year....) will fit on the regular 8/9/10-sp. freehub body. The cassette is wider overall than 8/9/10-sp. but the enormity of the inner sprocket allows it to be dished back from the core of the cassette without interfering with the spokes. Allowing the existing freehub design to be used means there's no further compromise in wheel stiffness by ramming the right flange even closer in to the centreline of the hub.I'm guessing he was probably referring to the SRAM driver....

I wasn't going to get new cranks but priced up 2 new chain rings for the sram cranks and it is almost as much as new cranks.Why bother with new cranks?
Nup, only demos were power-assist commutery-type things.Duck, did they have a bike to demo round the carpark with XT on it? Going to be outa the country for the WA one....
And even sram cringe at the idea of going 9t, like General Lee.Correctus. Shimano reckon there's not really all that much to gain by going smaller than 11T at the top end, so don't do it.

Only low-mid level stuff. The good toys are still a few weeks away from launch. You can bet your boots that OEM gets first dibs on new components.Some of the 2016 Giant range is already out... so unless Shimano filled OEM orders first you might be outta luck
Ah, I stick around till the end and get my fair share of free food and booze. Help them take the bikes to the truck and get to have a little play on them!Nup, only demos were power-assist commutery-type things.
same same. the inner chain width on 10 and 11spd is the same, the chain just get's a bees doodle narrower externally.Apologies if it has already been answered somewhere, but does the new 11sp chain/cassette/derailleur/shifter work fine with existing NW rings?
Or is the new crank set + ring required also?
With 29" wheels a short rear end and a 69' head angle. In fact make it a 429c geo please. Come one you tweaked the DW link for maestro you guys can do it...Pretty please Giant, make me happy and release the 2016 Anthem Advanced SX with full XT in a 2x11...
