XTR Di2 with SRAM 10-42 Cassette

Thanks Eliflap!

the display of XTR groupset is not required on a 1x set up ...

So Chain Reaction had a sale on the XTR Di2 rear derailleur....hope the wife doesn't find out. I decided to try it on my Broke Boone and the rear wheel from my cross bike that already had the 10-42 cassette on it. Bolted on and works great. I am using the SW-60 climbing switch on a set of TRP Hylex hydraulic brakes, even multi-shift works. The whole setup will probably get me assaulted by Shimano engineers, but it works great on a CX/Road dual use bike. I like the large range of the 10-42 cassette, but maybe the smaller jumps of the 11-40 at the smaller gears would be a little easier. I had a 38 narrow wide chainring on the front, which was way too small...the other bike has a 46 CX1 chainring.

A video of the shifting is at vimeo, 127227221, the forum won't let me post the link.

Interesting.

How did you fix the shifter to the lever?

TRP has a special assembly cover to join togheter brake lever and R600 shifter

Thanks.

Presumably the R600 shifter can be used to run a 2 x 11 sequential set up?

Cool stuff!

Really nice! I'm thinking of going xtr di2, sram 10-42, garbaruk 46t with red crank arms, no display
