Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time poster, I have a rather rambling advice-seeking question about converting to 1×11.
I have a Giant Trance 2×10 with Sram components, and I’m really keen to get it upgraded to 1×11, but I’m on a tight budget.
I believe my only options would be:
– Shimano SLX
– Sram GX
– Sram NX
But since I have a non-XD hub that throws out GX. And I read that the NX cassette would probably eat up my alloy freehub body due to having so many loose cogs!
Since I’m on a budget I was playing with the idea to keep my pressfit GXP bottom bracket, so that lands me right into the NX camp again.
I would guess my ideal solution would be mainly NX components, perhaps some GX parts thrown in, with a Shimano cassette.
So, let’s line up some questions:
– can I use a Shimano cassette with a NX derailleur?
– which pressfit bottom bracket would I need if I went with SLX? (all listed on SLX site are threaded)
– do you all have any better advice for all this?
Thanks for your time,
/Andy
