Which Groupset?

I'd rather get a single battery

Heretic!

I'm not sure that waterproofing is an issue?
I've had my road bike in absolute downpours and my mountain bike is ridden almost exclusively in the wet (Scotland) and never had an issue with the waterproofing.
That's not to say its impossible though.

looking for XT M8100 groupset but cant find anywhere apart from america. Where did it go?

If Sram sorted cassettes and their crap disc brakes I might think differently.

Riiiiiight, I'll try not get into this. But aye, cassettes are shite.
But I run Sram code rsc on mountain bike and sram red hydro no issues! Most folk fail to follow bleed procedure correctly.
Sram caliper seals servicable... Shimano say buy new one when leak :(

I have Shimano and SRAM cassettes in both my bikes. Force or 105 in one, Force or XT in the other. Both SRAM groupset, can't appreciate a difference.

Ah I'm referring to the 12 speed Sram Eagle mountain bike cassettes.
The shifting is a bit clunky, especially on down shifts on the smaller sprockets, there's always a very audible clanging sound too.
Shifting up during climbing is awful, it grinds horribly.
This combined with 12 speed eagle mechs being very sensitive to b-tension adjust makes it pretty annoying.

11 speed xt and xtr in comparison had none of these issues for me.

10 and 11 speed sram Road cassettes have been fine in my experience

but DOT fluid..

Edit .. Dinosaur replied before

And the front derailleurs, front hubs (third time's a charm, double recall bonus), brake lever seals, crankset bolts...

but DOT fluid..

uch wot evs!

I've never had any issue with dot fluid coming into contact and damaging anything - if you clean everything up theres no issue.

Cleans up the front end of the bike = insta likes. Fin.

Have you seen the size of a sram front derailleur. Got it's own gravity field.

I mean the supposed semi-wireless 9200. AXS ain't ever gonna be cool.

Lol, what embargo?

Haha!

Who posted that?

Has anyone got experience with a Sunrace cassette CSRX1 (11-36) in combination with a Shimano RD-R7000-GS or GRX RD-810?

The sounds like the stock setup of my grrl's Specialized Sequoia (the 105 one)

Nice

I think it came with the 5800

@giofox I had that setup (with 5800), on the same bike Hippy is referring to. It worked fine, no issues shifting to the extremes of the cassette. I now have the r7000 but went to a smaller cassette so can't speak to that

Yeah, probably. The 7000 should cope with an even bigger cassette then.

I seem to remember reading (maybe on road.cc?) the r7000 long cage RD was made to work with cassettes up to 40 or 42 a while back - think it was a pre-GRX article on how to gravelize Shimano's then current offering.

Yeah I made it work with a 11-40 cassette myself, all of them 5800-GS (+roadlink), 7000-GS and GRX810, I was just curious about this cassette as Shimano has no 11s offers between 11-34 and 11-40

the r7000 long cage RD was made to work with cassettes up to 40 or 42 a while back

ah I didn't know this and just bought a road link to run a 42t xt cassette, didnt think to try it first without

Have Campagnolo binned Centaur? Still on their website but out of stock most places, with some saying not to be re-stocked.

Had been considering getting the silver version to replace 8 speed Chorus on my ‘nag
