no problems at all right out of the box. I still have to try it on a trail but it seems to work perfectly now

 Yes it is, I bought it from bike-components.de

 Awesome I didn't know it was available yet...More parts I need to buy!..I wonder did you have to pre-order it or they have them in stock?...I will check anyway.

Thankyou.

 Oh I see they are in stock in the UK...

 If I remeber correctly it was available in 7 days when I ordered it

 Ok thanks. Yeah I heard the cassette had a few months delay so wasn't expecting them so soon...Internet rumour I guess!.. I'd like to get the XT 11sp cassette and the derailleur and xtr shifter....I have new Turbine cinch arms but I need to choose a chainring and get a threaded Hope 30mm bb. Oh and I'll need a new 11 speed chain, a KMC most likely or the Wipperman 11sp chain if and when available. I also want to try a longer 50mm stem...Its never ending.

 I know qhat you mean, I always think that there's nothing else I can change on my bikes and then boom a new product comes out ahaha

 I think this is just how the mtb industry works though isn't it...I guess its how they stay in business and how we never have any money....

 I prefer the feel of sram to shimano but the price of the xt cassette was way too low and I had to buy it
Are you having any problem?

 No, SRAMano works great.
