Freehub body not an issue, but the OneUp Switch chainrings are not compatible with Shimano 12 speed chain. Money saved, for now...
Just when I thought I was going to start saving some money...

Haha, Not a gram counter but not getting much else for more than double the cost. And stainless or ti cage screws bruh!

i have 11speed XT and does not take much to shift & that multi directional double down click is a great thing.
Will it work with <12 speed setups though? Or SRAM? Seems to be a weird tooth design?
May be a nice crank if the aftermarket make 10/11 sp compatible rings for it.
Yeah, not sure, will have to look closer

The Shimano shifters are a bit more sensitive to convoluted cable routing, there's some bikes it just never feels good.

Outside of the shimano direct mount pattern, it looks like a standard narrow wide tooth profile. Typically you can always use the greater speed rings on lower speed groups as the width of the chain ring is thinner. Might cause a bit of sloppiness / increase in chain wear, but the difference in chain width is so small (if it even is thinner). These damn wide range groups only get 500-700 miles out of a chain anyways, so cant be a huge impact.

i have XT 11 speed on my back up bike and it does take a lot of force to shift "down-shift" from small to the bigger gears. But it is a nice feature to be able to "up-shift" in to the smaller gears by pushing the lever either direction and the 2 gear up-shift at once is nice too. But you cannot beat the feel of SRAM Eagle. The XO1 is buttery smooth and easy to push. I do want to try this new Shimano stuff though.

That’s it? I’m coming up on a 1k miles (Eagle) and all though it’s not as smooth as it was when new, still shifts well.
Yeah, I thought it was BS but have found it to be true. Do you check your chains with a chain tool? Be very careful with sram cassettes, I ended up ruining a GX 11 spd by not chaining the chain enough. It wore incredibly faster than any shimano cassette I have ever had.

No chain tool... maybe should look into one. Where do you find the spec limits on the chain?
There’s one thing that has always stuck out with Shimano for me - durable AF.
There are a few different types, here is a park one:

I have a different one but they are pretty basic in what they measure, which is bushing wear of the chain. The short wear times is also why I started buying cheap chains. I am partial to shimano chains and now just get 105 / SLX level chains.

They will probably come to their senses when sales of the new group components fail to meet their sales budget...
