[@HOllyBOni]

One thing i'm happy about is that the SLX cassette costs about as much as an NX Eagle cassette, while it has more range and in terms of weight it's between NX and GX (which is almost twice the price). I think it's ridiculous where cassette prices are going. I remember in the old days when people said that 1x is cheaper because you have 1 less chainring, 1 less shifter, and no FD. Yeah, I guess that didn't exactly work out.

[@HOllyBOni]

​@@LoveMTB Yeah, the microspline situation is a bit strange, but i'm sure things are gonna change. After all, i'm a random guy on the internet, I know everything. 😁 Other than hurting sales, I don't understand what this "exclusivity" will achieve.

[@jsallen1946]

The cassette body shown in the video is a DT Swiss body. The gouging issue has existed for decades with off-brand cassette bodies made of aluminum to save a few grams, and Shimano cassettes. Solution: use a genuine Shimano Freehub.

[@1518joefil1]

Nicely done. I think this is the first time I've seen your face! :-) Still loving my Sunrace 11-46T 11sp. More than enough for me.

I purchased the SunRace MZ90 11-50 based on your pervious video! It's been excellent and is lighter than NX Eagle.

[@antoninkoukolik4207]

You align the 12t using the splines, where the larger splines ones are aligned on 14t and 12t. Then you align 10t using the dot on 12t. Everything is done in the right way by Shimano

Excellent content as always; thanks! My plan is to stay with 11spd SRAM (X01 cassette, GX mech, WT chainring, and X1 shifter), and go with the 12spd E13 upgrade once the cassette craps out. We shall see.....

[@tamasvarga67]

Great video with lots of useful info as always, thank you! 👍👍👍 I hope we will see SLX on the new bikes instead of NX and SX Eagle. I found SRAM’s budget 12 speed offerings cheaply made low quality and replaced them with 11 speed XT.

[@marcup1584]

@@LoveMTB Say I bought a bike with full SX Eagle groupset and was looking for improved shifting... Can I keep my current cassette, chain, and chainring and just swap out the SX Eagle Lever and Derailleur for a 12-speed SLX? Would you recommend picking up the XT Shifter as opposed to the SLX even if I went with an SLX rear mech? Or am I better off picking up a GX Eagle rear mech and shifter instead? Unfortunately no XD Driver, so I couldn't upgrade the cassette unless I wanted to mess with the hubs...

[@royrcf]

I was using a Shimano XT shifter with XT cassette and XTR rear mech just changed the shifter to XTR the difference was very noticeable. Since I have just bought a new mech and shifter I will wait a bit to upgrade but will definitely change at some point. Good video enjoyed the comparison, look forward to a field test.

[@AlekseyKluban]

Not sure what a magic, but xt-xt definitely will work better than xtr-xt, looks like shifter is feeling that on other end of wire is a stranger 😂🤣

[@castanol]

Just got a Zerode with a Pinion transmission. A joy to ride, no more adjustments.

[@th_js]

Nice!!!

[@castanol]

Does not like to shift under power, but it isn’t a handicap because shifting is instant, without pedaling. Ease off for a fraction of a second, click, and you are climbing again. You can also jump 2 or 3 gears without waiting for engagement, which is great before an unexpected climb.

[@jamble7k]

very nice video, seems like we'll finally have an option for a full shimano 12 speed groupset on cheaper bikes now

[@DGMarbleguy]

LoveMTB, you may have helped shed some light on a problem I've had for the last month Salsa Spearfish carbon SLX - creaking. It almost sounds like a creaking saddle but you get the same sound, in our out of the saddle. All my pivots are tight and the sound - I've confirmed multiple times - is coming from the rear end. Same creak, on both sides of the power stroke. The only thing left is the chain and cassette. I ride Alafia and Balm Boyette MTB trails, which means sand and a lot of phosphate. After nearly every ride I wash the bike, dry it off and use LOTS of Squirt. I ride most Friday mornings for about 1.5 hours and a couple of days a week with the grandkids around the neighborhood. You wouldn't think I'd be having these issues in about a years time. Then you mentioned that ring between the cassette and free hub. That "seems like" possibly the culprit. I wouldn't imagine it would wear out, it doesn't seem like a "wear item". What do you think?

[@DGMarbleguy]

Thanks for your quick response - No, it's in any gear. If you're coasting everything sounds "normal" (the noise from the pawls has always been inconsistent since day one, sometimes click, sometimes it's silent). The only time it creaks - in any gear - is when it's under load while you're pedaling, on both the right and left side.

[@DGMarbleguy]

@@LoveMTB yes, SLX

[@sabamacx]

I don't care for 12 speed or micropline+, or reduced weight. Hyperglide+ is the biggst innovation imo and cant wait to see it on the road sets too.

[@pbanthonyv]

It's one of those "Once you have tried it you never go back" things. Unless there's some sort of major durability issue I can't see myself ever considering something else.

Thanks for sharing the information and video. I have been checking out micro spline freehub this few days and want to upgrade my 10 speed to 12 speed. I am ordering micro spline freehub and XT group set to install my own. I hope the micro spline freehub works perfectly fine on my hub and my wheel. Thanks once again.

[@nicholastai6547]

@@LoveMTB It went very well. Thanks!

[@williamsherman4706]

I replaced my 2x11 shimano xt on my Procaliber Trek, with the new 1x12 Xt. I love it. It was a bit expensive since I had to change the hub, but I wanted to go 1x12, and I don't like the sram shifters (I know that's picky). My LBS also added the additional prawls for faster engagement in the hub. You really can shift under power. Because of another cyclist, I had to stop going up a really steep section that before I would have not been able to start in the middle of, but it was easy to shift 4 and engage instantly. Is it worth upgrading? Answer: depends on your cash flow. For me, yes. It cleaned up my handlebars, gave me a lower gear than the 2x11 (with a 30 front chain ring), and makes all of my shifting cleaner, easier, and more effective. In some ways it compares to sram Gx in other ways it is better. Depends on how important the shimano shifters are to the rider.

[@hychua7545]

Thanks for your informative video. I have build my soft tail on a SLX 12s drive train with a 10-51T Cassette. In your video, you mention there’s no chain drop when you back pedal on its largest COG. However, for my build, I experienced chain drop when back pedal at the 51T COG. Not sure if you have any advise on any rectification. I have a 148mm boost frame/hub and 457mm chainstay. Chainline at the crank is 52mm.

[@julesmorrissey]

Really useful- thanks!

[@stefannantz]

Compared to the X01, the XRT does shift much smother in both directions. What I don't like about the Shimano is the ISpecEV which makes it difficult to mount a XTR shifter to anything else that Shimano brakes. (there is no way currently to mount a XTR shifter to a Magura break for example)

I like the idea of using titanium cogs but aluminum is a pretty soft metal to use that as your rear cassette in your lowest range they should have an option all the Rings can be Titanium or even a lower grade option where the the two highest gears are just Steel

[@alissonfernandes3779]

Ótimo vídeo, obrigado!!!

[@bonvg6037]

Keep up the spirits

[@KennyMinigun]

Makes me kinda wish to have HG+ cassette with XD-compatible mount. However, that would require the casette to have no loose cogs. I.e. it is either SRAM changing tooth profile or Shimano accepting SRAM's standard (which has no patent fee, I believe) and making their cassettes a whole unit.

[@ocjimleonard]

Hi thank you for that informative video. I have a Giant Trance 2 with a 11-46 SLX cassette, and want to upgrade to possibly an 11 speed 11-51t SLX, would I need to modify or replace my derailleur?

[@PornobrillenAli]

Weren't the spiders from the ols slx or xt cassette made from steel and therefore didn't have the issue? Which setup would you recommend from a longevety point of view? I need the xt shifter in order to shift 2 gears at once, but I only need 11 gears.

[@ridesofjapan]

I'll be jumping all over that as soon as XTR di2 12speed come out... assuming it will still be compatible with the road di2 shifters. Btw, have you experienced any issues using the wolf tooth ring together with the 12speed Shimano chain?

If shimano would just put all the cogs on a single spider or split all 12 cogs between 2 spiders, they wouldn't have a gouging issue anywhere.
