So I just got a new Shimano XTR crankset and learned that the chainring I have is only compatible with hyperglide chains. The issue is that I currently have a GX eagle cassette which I’m not sure works with hyperglide chains. Are there any cassettes that are known to work? I looked at the E*Thirteen cassette but it says not compatible, I also looked at Garbaruk but couldn’t find if the xd driver cassette is compatible. I’ve heard conflicting things on SRAM Eagle cassettes.
I know it would be best to get shimano cassette but there’s no microspline hub available for my hubs so it needs to be xd or the old standard.
Edit: Looks like wolf tooth makes a different chainring that will solve this whole situation
Found a decent deal for the XTR crank set and seemed cheaper overall for getting a power meter on my mountain bike. Figured it pretty much be plug and play.
Well, with 11-speed we know from experience you can mix-and-match. I run a SRAM Force 11-32 cassette on my road bike that is equipped with a mix of 105 and Ultegra components. Also the 12-speed groupsets of both manufacturers seem compatible if threads like this one are to be believed.
Still, probably sticking with one manufacturer will give you better shifts and chain retention.
