Re: convert to 11 speed
I use Shimano so it would be either SLX (M7000) or XT (M8000) for mech and derailleur. Chainwise I tend to go with KMC.

Re: convert to 11 speed
Depends on your rear hub to a degree - Shimano or SRAM free hub?

Re: convert to 11 speed
If it's currently 9 or 10 speed then it's "Shimano" anyway.boxelder wrote:Depends on your rear hub to a degree - Shimano or SRAM free hub?
Re: convert to 11 speed
I'd run the current xt shifter, but go with which ever 11spd derailleur your budget will allow. You'll never notice the difference in performance with the different mechs.
Re: convert to 11 speed
I'd just stick with whatever you already have.
Off road it only really matters what the biggest and smallest ratios are.
Personally unless you told me, I couldn't tell if a bike was 9/10/11 speed while riding it.
Save the cash for something else

I'm running 1x9 at the minute more out of necessity rather than choice but it's served me well. 32x36 gets me up most hills, if I need a 46 tooth I'd be as quick jumping off and walking!

Re: convert to 11 speed
If you are already on 10 speed and want to ditch your front mech but retain a large range then the new Deore cassette might be enough for you. It goes up to 46T

I actually made up an 11-42 for my cx using an expander cog but when it wears out i'll probably just get the sunrace

Re: convert to 11 speed

Oops. My apologies. 11-42 is, indeed, the largest.
Re: convert to 11 speed
Good to know, will look at the sunrace next time I need to change cassette, would allow me to use a 34 or 36 on the front around my local area and Chuck a 32 on for hilly bikepackingrestlessnative wrote:Sunrace do an 11-40 9 speed cassette nowBlair512 wrote:
