• I’ve shown the online some of these 25% less than retail prices here..

    Wolftooth ultegra ring cheapest online £80
    Xt wide range cassette cheapest online £61.99
    Hanger adapter cheapest online £24
    Xt Chain cheapest online £23.99

    Closer to £200 and I’m not knocking 1x - I’d like it, but it does mean scrapping my perfectly good cassette, chain and ring when I’d rather spend my upgrade money elsewhere (for now)

  • if you are not in a hurry, lightly used stuff on ebay/FB marketplace is plenty

    not having a go at you, I was. in a similar situation; having to build up a Di2 only frame with 1x; I 'compiled' a whole groupset for about £550-£600 incl everything. The slightly older stuff is very cheap; the best value thing to do right now is XT Di2 rear mech with ST-R785 shifters. Again only possible with hawk's eyes on ebay/FB marketplace/other classifieds and a desk job.

  • I normally buy 90% of stuff used on eBay or Forums but this time It’s at the lbs being built, I’m not gonna faff with internal wiring / routing and rebleeding myself

    Total bill of parts is about £500 ( at a good discount under retail and no labour costs as they are good friends) and good thing is I can sell all my unused bits for slightly more than that so I’ll have saved money overall
