Damn Well Good Enough: A Review of the Shimano Deore XT LINKGLIDE
Prioritizing longevity and smooth shifting, Shimano’s LINKGLIDE technology offers an alternative to the weight and speed focus of most 12-speed drivetrains, with a new cassette designed to last 3x longer than their HYPERGLIDE+ technology. It uses an 11-speed chain, a new tooth design, and Shimano’s legacy HG freehub to achieve these feats. Whether it’s going on a new bike or bringing an old rig into the 1x world Shimano’s new LINKGLIDE technology might just be the right fit for you.

Lasco’s Machined 11-Speed Cassettes Work on 10-Speed Hubs
I wish I saw this product earlier! If you’re like me, you’ve got a few wheelsets lying around that are 10, not 11-speed compatible. Even selling these wheels in a largely dominated 11-speed market was more difficult than I imaged. Lasco Concept has engineered a solution to this common problem, by machining 1.85mm off 10-speed cassettes, allowing for 11-speed use. Right now, they have the following sizes available (Shimano Ultegra: 11-25 | 12-25 | 11-28
Sram Force : 11-25 | 11-28 | 11-32) and they’ll even convert any cassette. See more at Lasco Concept.
