Miitch-
Probably, but personally I wouldn't
Any updates on this?
Yeah, a bunch. My Hope Pro Evo 2 40t rear hub can take the M8000 XT 11-42 cassette no problem so I'm just doing a proper 'old and new bits on and old frame' build. Not sure on rims actually. I think I want silver ones. Might go vintage on that. Some Mavics or Sun's.
Not sure which drop bar shifterlevers will work with the 11speed XT if any. Paging @edscoble...
Going disc now.
Yeah, need the stopping power and disc is pretty nice in the wet I've heard.
Which ones to get I don't know yet. Recommendations?
Looking at the BB7's. Good?
Thrust
Scored these rims today for peanuts.
32h Alpine
28h Crest
Would the 28h hold up on an XTR hub you think with two small panniers and a bar bag?
