I'm trying to upgrade my Specialized Crosstrail with higher-end, lighter components and I wanted to know if anyone's tried using 2x11 systems.
Thanks!

If you're going for lighter weight, some of those 11sp cassettes are pretty porky. XT 11-46T is 439.35g, for instance. Nice thing is, they'll fit on 10-sp freehub bodies, unlike most road cassettes.
