Levo Drivetrain Upgrade

[Ridgeway Rider]

Just broke the shifter on my 2020 Levo Comp. Not had a lot of luck with Sram Gx shifters so thinking of switching to Shimano XT. (Good past experience). So could this be the 1st step to switching to Shimano drivetrain
WILL an XT shifter work with current GX derrailleur??

shouldn’t the shifter be covered under warranty? No money out of pocket and new shifter, win win?

Not sure about your question but I am going to install my spare XT 11 speed drivetrain on it and let her rip.

Xt shifter won’t work with SRAM mech but you can normally pick up a xt rear mech from chain reaction for £50-£60 or a slx one for £45

Take a look for this XT upgrade kit SHIMANO XT Upgrade Kit M8000 1x11, 209,50

One issue I was wondering about is will an XT shifter fit with the Sram Level T brakes as they have the NX shifter connected to them on my bike?

Just order XT shifter with clamp

I have that already but am worried the shifter mount on the integrated brake lever won't let me run the shifter inboard the brake lever.

You can buy adapters to integrate the shimano and SRAM shifters and levers, just make sure you buy the correct ones for the shimano spec.

There are others, but these seem popular:
MisMatch | Brakes | Problem Solvers

I used 3min19sec adapters to put sram shifters on xtr brakes

I have GX on the levo, and tbh I'm fed up with it, always seem to be fiddling/adjusting it

Would much rather have XT like my STJ has
