Does an 11 speed shimano compatible cassette exist for xd?
Just run a SRAM 11 speed XD cassette, it will work just fine.
(If I interpret your question correctly?)
Yea, just like rideit says.
It sounds like you have a hub with an XD Driver instead of the traditional Shimano freehub.
In that case, you will definitely never get a Shimano branded cassette that will go on there. Fortunately you do have a bunch of options.
Basically, any 11 speed XD cassette will work. Whether it's a Sram cassette or one of the 3rd parties (Box One, Sunrace, e13, Garbunk) your 11 speed Shimano shifter, derailleur and chain will work just fine.
Another option is buying a new Shimano freehub for the wheel. At first it'll feel like an unnecessary expense. Until you compare prices on Shimano Cassettes to the XD Sram Cassettes. You can usually buy a Shimano freehub and Shimano Cassette for less than a Sram Cassette. But their cog spacing is wonky in the 11-46, so not many people choosing that option these days.
Just a matter of finding the right hammer.Quote:

465mi on it so far and other than me bending the derailluer slightly with my LOFT* it's still just fine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Quote:

Why's that?Quote:

All this shit doesn't last. I get 1,500 miles out of mtn bike drivetrains. It is fucking stupid.
I can answer that. TRS have lasted some here 200 or less miles. They seem to be establishing a reputation of durability issues for their hubs and in particular their cassettes. Talk to a shop guy before you move forward .
Oh really? Damn. I got a TRSr 9-46 for free though, so...I figure I ought to use it. Thanks for the info.Quote:

Now SRAM, has steel teeth so should last. I like the 10t 11th speed. Like many others I run Shimano shifters and rear mechs, but SRAM cassettes. I like Shimano cassettes too, can't beat XT for $60.
I don’t really know how many miles I ride.
Sometimes i remember to get a new chain before the other stuff goes bad. But these days it seems like the chainring wears out at the same rate as the chain. And for the last few years, it seems like upgrades have been due right about when the last get wears out.

I wish I'd get that much riding in....Quote:

Aluminum narrow/wide chainrings wear out faster than steel chains. Science yo...
For $5 - $10 get a chain stretch checker. For $30 get a bleed kit. Bikes are the simplest things to work on. Amazes me that grown men are so reluctant to work on them. A whole generation of just buy a new one off Amazon....
The tech in a modern SRAM rear derailleur is awesome. There is a pulley wheel built in to get the angle from the frame stop nice and smooth. Shimano can't even get the clutch mechanism right.
Pick up a Shimano driver for your hub, and then get the Sunrace 11-46 (the Box is the same damn thing, but the Sunrace can *usually*be found cheaper) or 11-50 cassette and ride on for way less money in the long run.
Bonus: lighter than the cheap SRAM cassettes, quite a bit cheaper, and you still have the XD driver for future use/resale. And they'll still last a long while.
That would make me swear off their product. In decades of riding, I’ve never snapped a shifter cable on the trail. I’ve had to replace a ton, but just because I was seeing a few strands worn. I’ve never thought about carrying a spare cable.Quote:

I got 700 miles plus on one, replaced it with the cheaper version wondering if would be more durable. Love the range for here and my 'style'Quote:
