Hi Ya I have the opportunity to acquire a 11 speed XTR CS-M9000 for a good price. Does anyone know if its compatible with XT 11spd Derailleur and Shifters. Or is it only happy when other XTR components are used. Cheers
Any of the shimano 11 speed groupset components will work well with each other, so you should have no issue using an XT 11 speed mech with an 11 speed XTR cassette. I've used an XTR cassette with a shimano 105 11 speed road group and it worked flawlessly so you should have no proplems.
I'm pretty sure the XTR cassette doesnt need a specific chain. It probably runs the smoothest with an XTR chain, but I used an ultegra chain on mine and had no issues
