Absolutely. I intentionally decided on a full 10 sp XTR setup for my titanium hardtail build a few years ago for a few reasons: it was cheaper. The gears I would use (the first 5) are all titanium cogs and take forever to wear. The lack of a pie plate rear end cog that would wear in 3 months made me cringe. Moreover, you get the gearing with a 21 front ring. Bought a whole spare drivetrain at the time thinking it was being cautious. Now I see it as the best insurance I could of had. Drivetrain has never failed me and the shifting is superb. Try finding 10 spd XTR parts new today......
