Drivechain - Shimano XTR and SRAM XX1 Mash-up!

Some more drive chain detail.






Yes, the XTR mech works flawlessly with the XX1 cassette straight out of the box. I did notice the larger jumps of the SRAM cassette, but I hope it is worth it for the extra ratios. SRAM XX1 offers eleven gears ranging from 10-42 compared to 11-40 from Shimano.



I've been running Rotor Q-Rings for a couple of years. As you can tell from the wear on the cranks! Totally convinced they help me stay on top of a harder gear and spin up the climbs. Haven't found a lighter solution than the Specialised crank with Rotor spider and 32t ring. I run 170mm cranks.



I-Spec shifter uses the same clamp as the brake, really tidying up the handlebar. I do need to re-bleed the brakes as my first attempt didn't work.
