My eeb 12spd GX cassette is absolutely farked at 1000km, was jumping 2 rides ago, then jumping on every effort on the last ride.
Still waiting on the proprietary Ibis HG to fit my 11spd XT Linkglide. Might already be here in Melrose and I'll pick it up next week.
Was looking at other options like fitting a 27.5 wheel from another bike and decided to fit a used 11spd GX XD to the Ibis wheel and then transfer the Linkglide shifter, derailleur and chain over temporarily till I got the HG driver.
Fitted the 11spd cassette and just out of curiosity, ran the standard 12spd XT gears, with 12spd chain up and down through the range
WTF... it selected every gear like a glove, up and down... apart from the 12th cog, as it doesn't have one. Adjusted the limit screw in to stop it dropping into the spokes and took it for a blockie. No jumps, no shifting issues.
XT12 shifter and derailleur, SRAM 12spd chain and SRAM 11spd cassette. Am I the only one who didn't know this ?
Will maybe swap the part worn SRAM chain for the new XX1 chain and take it for another longer ride tomorrow night.
