  • I'd feel left behind building up a new bike with 11 speed etap hrd but the price of the new stuff is crazy.

    Yeah I know what you mean. Haven't properly read press release on the the New stuff but assuming 12 speed requires new hub or something to fit.
    Quite sure I'll be sticking with 11 speed for a good few more years yet.
    I'd argue that 12 speed is something that simply wasn't needed. 11 speed wasn't broken. Just a new standard to get more sales.

    Same every few years tho I suppose

  • yeah it needs some xdr freehub, the 12 speed cassettes cost a bomb too. I'm still happy with 10 speed, I'd still use it if they made new groupsets using it.

  • Quite a few manufacturers just let you change the driver / body instead of the whole hub.
