My apologies guys, I was just joking about a new skooer hub standard in the other thread...
Stupid Shimano 11 speed question
- Thread starter gemini2k
- Start date
Boost110, the open dropout offspring of Boost... I was wondering how could they miss milking that cow. And then BAM! There it was...
one of those already exists

Looks like it was the hub. The split ring retaining ring thing that goes around the pawls was not in position properly. The gap/split was sitting right over one of the pawls so it was not moving properly.

Good you caught that issue early. I did not (the spring in mine was a bit too short) and the freehub bearing self-destructed because of uneven load.Looks like it was the hub.

Is this a common problem with those? Should i replace the pawls/ring? Or just run with it?
Make sure the spring is long enough (it should go pin to pin) and that the pawls are not sticking and you should be good.
OK now this is pissing me off
Chainline SHOULD be perfect, but technical steep climbs, up and over omgroxxors, (edit:ratcheting) and I'm still having this problem.
49mm is what I want? Jes?
Pressfit BB is installed correctly. OneUp ring on M8000 stuff.

Welcome to new Shimano "chainlines", where your once perfect chainline no matter means anything for centering up with the newer style cassettes.
I'm still keen on the 11sp XT. My XTR setup with the 42T cog has always done that. Only since the conversion to 1x11. It doesn't really bother be because, hey, pedaling backwards means you aren't gettin' that KOM, amirite?
I just find that the 42t, Radr cage, etc... works well, but just that: well. I'd hope the new XT 11sp is more refined.
I'd probably spring for the xtr shifter. Perhaps next year.

Sounds to me like you want a double chainring with a front derailleur and a nice 8 speed cassette.OK now this is pissing me off

chainline's really good when climbing in the lowest cassette sprockets and even better in the high gears on the front ring.
Best of all you don't need a stupid massive/heavy expensive cassette with loads of sprockets.
and so long as you don't use retarded gear combinations the chain never gets flappy enough to require a "special" anti-flap clutch in the rear derailleur.
but ...ooooohh... #Fashion
Dilemma isn't it?
Always helpful Gary. Thanks!
I was a holdout against 1x, but since committing for a while all of my original concerns are gone except for this backpedaling issue. I know I CAN get it dialed, it just shouldn't be this difficult.
I'm going to re-measure everything later.

I have a 30t front with an 11-40 rear. I can't backpedal in the top three gears. The 40t is the worst, the other two I can get about half a revolution or more before it derails. It hasn't caused too many problems on the trail, but I'm not impressed with the implementation.
