Hi

After whol seasonof riding,training,my X01 cassette wont work with new chain. As we know,Sram components are much more expensive than shimano,even,when we have to change freehub body to shimano 11s.

But do I have to change derailleur and shifter too??

Does anyone know,are Shimano XT/XTR 11speed cassettes works with sram x01/xx1 derailleur without any modifications??

Thanks

Yes, you can use Shimano 11 cassette on XX1/X01 drive train.

This is a fairly well documented fact. First hand comments should be very easy to find.

That information save my wallet:)

Maybe shimano cassettes are heavier(60 grams) but I can buy it for half price of sram.

Keep in mind the Shimano does not use XD diver body that the XX1/X01 uses, it uses standard freehub body.

If you already have a XD diver body then you will need to convert it to shimano compatible freehub body first, that may offset the cost.

Also, consider the cheaper GX1 cassettes from SRAM.

For the XTR this is true.
Keep in mind the XT cassettes however are VERY heavy though:

11-40T= 411g
11-42T= 447g

The new sram GX XG-1150 cassette is much cheaper than the older XO1 or XX1 cassettes. I think it's priced about the same as an XT cassette, at least on the websites I'm finding them on with a quick google search.

Weight difference between XG-1150 and XG-1180 is mainly in the biggest sprocket - XG-1150 is steel and the other one aluminium. If your current 42t sprocket is in good state, you can buy XG-1150 for 100€ and swap the 42t sprocket to get the weight down close to XG-1180.

The XG 1150 has silver lock ring, not a black one.
On the other side, the XG 1180 has black one, so I would think it's XG 1180 pictured.

As noted, GX cassettes are only £20 more expensive than an XT, and you keep the 10-42 range instead of only 11-42 or 11-40 of Shimano.

Heck, if I had a shimano 1x11 group I'd be switching a SRAM cassette onto that, not the other way round...
