Hi all,
I was subject to the dreaded chain jumping off the jockey wheel and getting wedged between the jockey wheel and mech cage last night. It was caused by a very grassy field and grass all getting caught in the jockey wheel.
Anyway, I've got a really nice set of wheel with carbon rims and as far as I'm aware I cant get a freehub body for a dt240 hub to fit the new xtr cassettes. So....
Could I just buy a new 12 speed xtr mech and shifter and run it with my 10-50 cassette and chain I currently have?
Thoughts?
Cheers
There will be a DT freehub body for XTR in time, but with the XTR cassette having a bunch of aluminium cogs, I'd much prefer a SRAM one. Am waiting for someone to try XT mech/shifter on an eagle cassette, that'd be my preferred setup. Hopefully spacing is the same
Anyone done this yet?
DT are the only hub manufacturer to be licenced to make a new XTR pattern freehub. Onyx will also be able to use,that DT freehub. I believe White Industries have also got a freehub made of titanium which has half as many splines so get around the patent but still works.
I would also like the Eagle XXTR setup you describe but I believe someone in weightweenies has said the cassette spacing is 0.1mm different per cog. I don't know if anyone has tried it in the real world yet though.
Anyone done this yet?
Has anyone not fully shimano sponsored or in the press got xtr12 yet?
Rear mech & shifters are in stock with Madison, so can't imagine it will be too long before the rest arrives.
