With the wide range XX1 and XTR cassettes, has anyone tried a 1x11 setup with road gearing? Would the larger chainring in front blow out the capacity of the rear derailleur? Seems like you could hack the XTR Di2 shifter, use the wide range (10-42) cassette, and a 50t-55t in the front and end up with a wider gearing range than 2x10, and get to ditch the front derailleur and all the cables and housing.
Has anyone tried this yet?
I think TriRig mentioned something awhile ago but I haven't seen anywhere whether this will actually work and I'm ready yet to waste $800+ to find out on my own...
