So....
  • New 11s (MTB) Cassette
  • New rear derailleur
  • New Shifters.
  • 11s Chain
I'm not sure about the Front derailleur, crankset. and chainrings. I am using a 10s Campy crankset with 11s without significant problems. You could replace everything, or just try it out.
Thanks for answering everyone, so does it mean that the only thing i have to get is the groupset and i do not have to get a new hub? I have a 9 speed XT hub will that be compatible with the 11 speed cassette?
