I was curious about their new LG driveset and have been doing a little research when I found this thread.  I just purchased my first eBike, a Turbo Levo, SWorks Frameset, I will build from the Frame-up.  My initial thought was to build with XTR 12sp with XO1AXS, we know that works well. Then I found the durability of the current 12spd group sets to be an expensive option with a short lifespan on eBikes. Then I looked deeper into compatibility with AXS, and found a youtube video that uses a 11spd cassette with AXS, with a little B adjustment the chain won’t jump up to the 12th gear or ghost gear the guy called it. Not sure how the chain would actually work on such a set up using the shimano LG 700 cassette with the AXS.. but I believe it might actually work, simply because you are any compatible 11speed chain!  My question seems be, will the spread in the LG cassette / tooth profile be a stretch for the AXS program to recognize, or maybe it will compensate with some tinkering of the B screw.. and work perfectly..  I noticed in the video the chain seemed to skip on the upper cogs when shifting up. As in, not grab on initial upshift. https://youtu.be/0xrNh08_EtM Your thoughts?  Chip
