Thanks, Adam! Sounds like a keeper of a system. I ordered the kit you recommended, but have an Eagle X01 rear derailleur already, so will be selling the brand new GX Eagle rear derailleur that comes with the set. Now if I had a suitable bike to put this on... Tom On Tuesday, April 16, 2019

Tom, the 12s GX eagle setup is great. The shifts are virtually instantaneous and the group feels very reliable, shifting wise. Despite not adding a narrow-wide/1x specific chainring yet, there have been no problems using the Silver chainring. This being said I'll probably swap it to a narrow

Jeremy, I hear you. Do we know that the Atlantis fork, albeit narrower, is not as stout? Good point about the chain line; will have to ask Riv what their thoughts were when they set up that 1x12 Atlantis. The 59 Clem feels too big & long on the single track I ride. On my first Clem H, I

Bill- Checking their conversion pages: https://www.dtswiss.com/en/support/conversion-charts/end-cap-solution-mtb-rear/ it's evident that nearly all of their MTB hubs are convertible to 5mm QR and that includes their XD driver hubs. You just need to find the right parts (which is fairly easy

Justin White Industries doesn't have any model listed on their site that is 135mm, QR, with an XD driver. I called White and left a message asking exactly that. I assume it would be the MI5 that would need to take a XD driver. If they can sell that, that's probably the one I would buy I

Thanks for the reply Adam, but I was asking a different question. I'll ask it again: Is there a rear hub with: 135mm OLD spacing + a Quick Release axle + non-disc brakes + SRAM XD driver ? If that rear hub exists, then one could run a 10-50 cassette on an Atlantis. If no such hub exists,

Not to derail (hah!) this thread, but I had also briefly considered an MIT Atlantis as something to work towards as a replacement for my current CleMTB. I was at Riv HQ a couple of weekends ago and got a chance to look more closely at the demo bike that's built up pretty closely to my Clem, as

Good to know, Adam. Makes sense. And you experienced this groupset already and had no issues. I noticed the article Colin referenced recommended swapping out the GX derailleur for the X01. If you didn’t have issues then likely not worth it, unless a sig bunch of folks noticed alignment probs

more than likely it's the *friction* silver shifter mated to the 10s setup. some people have noted success with 10speed friction, but mostly what i hear is that because the cable pull is so minute between gears on the 10s and 11s cassettes, friction shifting is very sensitive and ghost shifting

Thanks Bill. It looks like the GX Eagle 12-spd groupset (which seems to be far better liked than NX) is now as 'inexpensive' as the NX stuff was last year. I would certainly expect the cross-chain effects as you point out; but surprisingly, complaints are hard to find..I *have *seen reviews
