I'm looking to move from SS t 1x11 is it cheaper to get a groupset or shop around and get bits piece by piece.

Time is not an issue as funds need to be found first.

Ta.

IF you're only buyign a shifter, mech cassette and chain then separates make some sense. I got XTR shifter and mech with an XT cassette for about the price of an XT 'gearset'.

I did have to shop around for a bit and keep an eye out for offers though.

Merlin have a "spend and save" sale on again, which makes 1x11 XT shifter/derailleur/cassette with KMC chain ~£167 excluding a n/w chainring, think this beats CRC's 1x11 bundle deal.

Given the rumours of a major upcoming Shimano price hike, it makes me wonder if I should jump straight to 1x11 now, instead of paying ~£120 for 1x10 (which I think is a better deal from CRC).
