This is very surprising, and helpful. I also use the same hub and planning to upgrade on 11speed. Viola! Hello SLX 🤩

I have one of those hubs, it got sent back within a month under warranty for a rebuild and re-grease as it was bone dry from factory. Its on a XC bike and I've bounced it round my local trials since October 2020 on a daily basis ever since. Its still alive.

There is a mis-understanding as of which gear combinations will work. For mtb, an 8 speed through 11 speed Cassette will fit on the sam free hub body while a road free hub body is different between the 11 speed and 8-10 speed cassettes. A road 11 speed is wider than an mtb 11 speed

Dude, thanks for the video. I have been wanting to do this to my Pitch. Now i know i can

Thank you man for the info I'm always wandering if it works on my bike incase if I switch to a different groupset coincidentally my bike is also a specialized pitch sport which is 8 speed so thaank so so muuch man!! Now i know it works!! God bless u man!!

most centerlock hubs are pretty modern and will accept up to at least 11 speed. 1x11 Shimano SLX is a great groupset - I have it and it works amazing.

This is going to be my next upgrade for my ‘12 Trek Marlin. I’ve actually tried to go 1x for quite some time but after doing more research I thought it’d be too expensive. This video really made me want to actually do it!!

You might have been able to even keep the old derailleur since the shift lever is what actually controls how much cable is taken in or let out with each shift. You just have to adjust the high and low set screws on the derailleur assuming it's a compatible shimano.

That same cassette in an 11 speed would have a better transition between gears my 11-46 runs 11-13-15-18-21-24-28-32-36=40-46 just gives you a tighter ratio.

Yep. That's exactly how it's done. A 7 speed chain is 7mm wide at the pins, a 12spd chain is about 5.1mm wide at the pin. But, the plates are pretty much the same thickness which is where the confusion and up until recently skepticism about narrower chains came from. For a fair while people were worried a narrower 12spd chain would be weaker. While they aren't as tough they're still solid and despite my best efforts, still haven't snapped one.

Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks!

Im doing more or less same upgrading as u but on cube analog mate , still waiting for my parts to arrive from germany

Awesome video thanks for sharing that! But, you really need a lot more torque on the lock ring than that. The friction from sandwiching the cogs and spacers together helps distribute the load from pedaling and prevents those nasty dings on the hub body, or something like that. Also "dork" disks are actually really good, especially if you swap wheels with frequency or might bang your derailleur when riding (say for cyclocross, etc). And that might explain why you still see them show up consistently on some higher end wheels. I didn't learn that the hard way, nah... RIP my rear tubular wheel spokes.

Let us know how it goes. Does the chain slip down when at the top or bottom of the cassette?

If you put that huge cassette on... which is way larger than the dork disc behind it, you have to use the XXL dork disc from Shimano. They are currently out of stock, but Shimano will fedex them to you as soon as they are available again. They also offer a special carbon super dork disc, for only U$ 149,- for those of you who want outstanding performance at low weight.

If it's of any help, the Shimano HG Spline driver is a standardised part. Cassettes are designed to fit it and that is why 6/7/8 speed chains are about 7mm wide at the pin but 12 speed chains are about 5.1mm at the pin. The Cassettes are all the same thickness, the rings are slimmer and tighter spaced to allow for more speeds in the same space. Campagnolo have started to produce a 13 speed for roadies. That set up uses a 4.9mm chain to further allow the cassette to fit within a standardised hub space. Shimano micro-spline and SRAM XD drivers are now complicating the market but they still hold the same cassette width, they just make the driver diameter smaller to accommodate a 10t ring, HG spline can only fit an 11t at the smallest. If you're upgrading an older bike the real hang up will likely be the Bottom Bracket. Chuck that square taper, Octalink of ISIS spline in the bin, we're now in the world of SRAM DUB, 24mm and 30mm two-piece cranksets. This is the area which can mess up would be 1x newcomers as a 2x or 3x crankset will not give a good chainline and 10, 11 and 12 speed really need a narrow-wide chainring to work properly. My personal recommendation is pricey but worthwhile for ease and quality. Buy a SRAM NX Eagle 11-50t cassette for about $100 then fork out a further $300 or so for the SRAM GX Eagle groupset. You'll get the entire 12 speed drivechain in one easy go plus it uses the DUB Bottom Bracket system. This is great if you have an older BB shell which may not fit some of the newer cranks too well. If you can get an XD driver for your hub, do so and omit the NX cassette, the 10-50t GX cassette gives you a better range however requires the previously mentioned driver.

@@toothlessboss if it's going on a HG spline then it should do. Just make sure the hub body and cassette use the same spline interface. Both SRAM and Shimano recently(ish) made new standard bodies for their 12 speed and top-end kit. Most cassettes are still HG though. The one thing to look out for is a spacer that some freehubs have. It's between the cassette and hubshell on the freehub body and it's just there to ensure limited range cassettes (often 9 speed or less) are indexed for the best chainline. That needs to come off for an 11spd.

Should’ve left the dork disc on. Extra style points for being rad and dorky! Great video Mate!

Just an FYI for anyone reading, the Shimano HG hub, usually known as the "8-10 speed hub" (as you see on the bike in this video) will normally fit any mountain bike cassette 8-12 speed that is made for this standard of hub. Some earlier versions of the hub won't fit 10 speed+, but that's from the late 90s, early 2000s. Now, the catch is that this hub will not work with standard 11 speed road cassettes. They need the specific 11 speed Shimano HG hub with the extra space to fit. Since I'm already on this tangent, there are 11 speed road cassettes that will fit the mountain bike sized HG hub, but they have to list that they are "8-10 speed hub" compatible in the specifications.
