Machined form one piece of chromoly, lighter than dura ace, might have some derailleur clearance issues when used on a 8/9/10 freehub but it also works with a spacer on a 11 length body.

I have had some creaking problems with the composite spider on 6800 cassettes, I hate creaks. I don't think that this will creak.

Looks cool but quite a chunk of dough. "Most" isn't reassuring either.

i just upgraded my MTB to 1x11 and if i ever get to enough road riding i might do that for my IF as well.
BTW the mono block is only $181 at total cycling which isn't bad considering what red and dura ace cost

It looks like there's very little in the way of shift ramps.

Either way, that's a really impressive piece of machining!

I'm not into shift ramps, I like my shifts loud and clunky .
