Hi all.
I need some advice with regards to upgrading the drivetrain on my Silverback Sola 3 2016 model. The drivetrain components are giving problems and I want to replace them.
Currently it is a 3x10 group set. Preferably I would like to replace it with a 1x12 group set.
I would like to go with SRAM SX Eagle or NX Eagle. Apparently the SX range is in short supply. I am also willing to look at a Shimano 1x12 group set.
Firstly, my main question is. Is it possible for my bike to be converted to a 1x12 group set? (I do realize that I may have to replace a lot of components.)
What will the typical components be and the costs involved? (I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on such an entry level bike.)
The advice I received so far was that it will be cheaper to buy a new or second hand bike that already has a 1x12 group set, rather than converting my current bike.
My current bike's drivetrain specs are as follows:
Crankset: Shimano FC-M522. 42/32/24T, L: 175mm ALL SIZES, Black
Cassette: Shimano CS-HG50, 10 speed, 11-36T, Silver
Rear Derailleur: Shimano SLX RD-M675 Shadow Plus, Long Cage, 10 Speed
Front Derailleur: Shimano Deore FD-M610, Triple, Clamp-on 34.9mm, Silver
Shifters: Shimano Deore SL-M610, 3x10, Trigger, Black
Rear Hub: Rear: Shimano FH-RM3050, Centre Lock Disc Mount, Adjustable cup and cone angular contact bearings, Cassette, Black
Front Hub: Front: Shimano HB-RM35, Centre Lock Disc Mount Adjustable cup and cone angular contact bearings, 9mm Axle, Black
Looking forward to all the advice.
Cheers.
