Runs naked through virgin scrub
My 2015 Norco Sight came out with SRAM 11 speed running gear. It had a 10/42 cassette and a 32 tooth chain ring and XD driver. A while back I wanted a better climbing gear, when the first cassette was toast, I redid the drive train and used a E-thirteen cassette to give me a 46 tooth climbing gear but also had the bonus of a 9 tooth for the top end. I was still running the SRAM X1 11 speed derailleur but I was never happy with the shifting onto the two biggest sprockets, as the chain jumped off and jams up if the shift is rushed and under load. This cassette has been through three chains and two derailleurs and the bigger sprockets are now about worn out again.
I couldn't get hold of a Sunrace 11 speed cassette for the XD driver so ended up buying the E-thirteen half cassette which replaces the larger part of the cassette only, and a new chain ring and chain. It's bloody annoying that SRAM doesn't make a cassette with a 46 tooth. I suppose they want you to go Eagle 12 speed.
If I had my preference I'd go with a Shimano drive train but that means replacing everthing including shifter and hub driver.
Anyone else have any ideas for the future or should I just buy a new bike?
