Sounds like we still need to pony up the extra $ and get a Shimano or Sram xd.

Sure. Nothing stopping you.

In 11sp, 11t small cog is ewwwww for shimano. SRAM GX at least has 10t, but at only 20g heavier, the ZTTO 9-42 shits on gx for shift feel, price, and (so far), life.

Has anyone spotted any 10-36 or 9-36 10sp options? Most of the ZTTO stuff seems to be 11 or 12sp...

Seems the 'repackaged and upgraded' actually means faster shipping.

Maybe this will help someone. If you need to resurrect a bike with 1 1/8" steerer then you do a lot worse than these.
New forks and sharply priced.
