Answered 9 speed to 11

[PeteIOM]

My Scott is Shimano 9 speed.
I have a complete XT 1x11 set knocking about... any reason I wouldn't be able to swap it over?
I'm guessing the Shimano 9 speed hub can take the 11 speed?

No problem. As long as you have 11-speed cassette, chain, shifter and derailleuer, you are good to go. Your front chainring might need to be changed if it is very worn, but should go ok with an 11-speed chain.

You deffo want a ‘narrow/wide’ front ring to prevent dropped chains.
