Interesting. I didn’t know about the interference risk between 12speed and 142 hubs. I see an asterisk on the LG compatibility chart for non-boost now that I look as well. I will definitely check out a 9speed LG cassette in person (when I can) to get to the bottom of this.
The cassette being non-series/3 digit and the derailleur/shifter being 8130 is somewhat odd. The rest of the 8130 parts are 12speed superboost. Maybe it’s a choice to make it easily identified as XT if it’s spec’d on a bike. Does this mean the new Saint is just another few years away?
