The 9t isn't going to work with all chainstays either, even 10t can be a bit touch and go for chain clearance on some frames.

So you’re thinking Hope or Ingrid then?

As I think I said before I did almost buy Ingrids for the Nic

I was very fond of Ingrid, especially after the junior championships in Gympie.

(thank god no-one makes orange cranks you animal)

Um?

What about some 5 Dev

or ignite catalyst

The one thing that this thread has stated is you have to spend more money. The morer the better.

FWIW nephew has top spec sram 11sp and it is very very nice. I could almost do it. No idea about any 12sp.

I'm genuinely surprised it's lasted 3 pages before getting ridonculous.

There are too many posts saying the same thing that I CBF reading, so I'm just going to blindly shout my opinion into the void:

XT M8100 shifter and derailleur, XD driver on your wheels with Garbaruk 12sp 10-48 cassette. Cranks just get whatever depending on your appetite for carbon, budget, weight-weenie requirements or aesthetic taste (thank god no-one makes orange cranks you animal) and put a big ol' 38t ring on there because you are a literal flat-earther.

Your opinion is pretty much echoing everyone else's. Going to Adelaide next week to explore options but I'm 90% there on 12sp XT. Biggest issue is how long it's going take to get a microspline driver in my grubbies.

And don't worry, there is such a thing as too much orange

It’s been a long week. I will go plug in and come back.

Um?

Yeah forgot about Hope but @Cardy George got the message anyway

I could part with my orange tune cranks

If the cranks are orange won't they be noisy?

 

[Cardy George]

If the cranks are orange won't they be noisy?

Yeah, but they'd be more like a change box than a full filing cabinet

Most of the noise associated with an orange is just @moorey fapping

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to make a fucking decision now and buy stuff!

Easy tiger, I'm not hambo. Decisions made, pending availability. And a couple other details.

Is it to late to mention rotor 13 speed. It’s so much easier spending someone else’s money

Beans. Spill. Now.

All I'm willing to say is there is no orange involved.
