I pretty much know the answer to this, but I wanted to confirm it:
On the DH bike, I have a Sram GX derailleur and shifter. The cassette is one of those fancy Sram one-piece 7spd DH XD cassettes.
I don't like the Sram shifter feel so I want to install an 11 speed Shimano XT shifter and Shimano 105 short cage derailleur on the back (going with 105 vs XT is just a question of what's available right this second...although the lack of a clutch on the 105 derailleur may make me re-think this).
From what I understand, the Sram DH drivetrain is 11 speed so really, unless Sram spaces their cogs differently from Shimano, this should all work whlie keeping the existing chain. Right?
