Agree re the updated pinch bolt versions of the e13 cassettes. Reliable, silent and shift well. Handy to be able to buy the new upper cassette portion (the part that generally has the wear that leads to the change of cassette). That said I am looking at less than 0.25 wear on an XX1 Eagle chain after 1600 km and other than some cosmetic wear on the coating on the X01 Eagle cassette I am looking at a drive train that will last longer than I generally keep my bikes.
