Yep, cassette is an XTR 11s 11-40, front chainrings are 44-30, so bottom gear is around 20 inches. The big gear, amusingly, is exactly the same as the big gear I used when I started road racing as a young bloke in the 1970s - 44-11 is exactly the same gear as the 52-13 that I had in those days.
I'll be curious to see how well the cassette lasts, seeing that nine of the 11 cogs are titanium. I suspect that when it wears out I'll replace it with the recently released XT equivalent for half the price. Unfortunately the XT wasn't available at the time that I put this machine together.
