happy holidays eh.
does anyone have experience with the new shimano xt 11 speed yet? i've read only a couple reviews as it's pretty dam new to the market. Blistergear gave it a meh saying it was very stiff and slow shifting, not much different from 1x10 extended. on some other forum the guy said it was fantastic. my current 1x10 with 42 one up and xtr shifter is very slow and stiff. i turn off the clutch whenever possible it's so stiff. sounds like the new rear mech is also much easier to tune the clutch (allen key). having only recently tried SRAM x1 on a demo i was really impressed. super light action, fast and smooth. but the idea of the cost plus the 11 speed driver is a huge turn off, i don't think i would do it unless it came on a bike…
