if you were replacing a 1x12 groupset on a budget, would you go

a Sram NX eagle with bsa/dub bb or

Shimano deore (6100?) with hollowtech 2 (or SLX)

? anyone have experience with both?

I have experience with both and would happily use either! If one is markedly cheaper than the other, I'd go for the cheapest.

Having used both, I would say that they work well but I would try to see if you could spec a better shifter (GX or XT) as that makes a noticeable difference.

I'd go for 1x11 SRAM

thanks all. that was going to be my follow up question, anyone gone back to 11 speed? more reliable shifting/stronger chains?

currently have sram sx 1x12 but bent RD recently. nx12 groupset was down to ~£160 not long ago but missed out;( would shimano groupset work with sram cassette?

I've stayed on 11 speed even when building up new bikes, MTB & X.

In reply to magma:

I recently switched by SRAM 12 speed to Shimano LX - shifters and mech. Didn't change the chainset. I like the push/pull option on the LX.
