I'm waiting on a bikesdirect that comes with an SX drivetrain/groupset. I would like to upgrade it immediately, but confused as to the best upgrade paths:
1) With the existing freehub, I believe I can go straight across to the 11 speed shimano variants like SLX. Is this worthwhile, I would be losing one cog.
2) If I want to upgrade to the newer 12 speed Shimano SLX, or 12 speed SRAM GX I would have to change out the hub assembly to either XD or MicroSpline.
The bike I'm getting has DT...
