Don't use the phone at all whilst driving winds the missus up proper " whats the use of having a phone if I cant get hold of you" she uses hers even if I'm passenger

Small gap between big ring and chain stay

Success fitted 40t chain ring with my deore FD E-Type all running smooth

I'm busy with exact same installation bought FSA rings at CWC 40T FOR R50 new 11-36 cassette and chain going onto old Scott Genius MC 50 with E-type derailleur everything appears to fit and clear properly waiting for LBS need to get new gear cables to check function - Holding Thumbs

If i go 1x do i have to have a derailleur with a clutch i currently have XT 781shadow non clutch and can this handle the extended cassette

At present in the area where I ride most of it is done on the big ring 38t the terrain has no seriously long climbs (at least I haven't found them yet) I'm no racing snake 100kg on a 26er

I'm currently running a 2 x 10 system which is almost toast on it's last legs. I'm trying to decide whether to stay 2x10 or go 1 x 10. below are a few of my options: Option 1. narrow wide chain ring, chain and sunrace 11-46 cassette (1550 Rondelas) plus will probably need new rear derailleur . Option 2. Sram X7 crankset, hg50 11-36 cassette, chain (1650 rondelas) Option 3. buy chainrings to fit my current slx fc m660 (originally 3x9 crankarm) cassette and chain ( CWC has FSA for R50 not sure if it will fit profile of crankarm, BCD is correct. any advice or suggestions will be appreciated would like to keep cost low but also future maintenance and replacement cost

I just changed from 3x9 to 2x10 had to insert spacer between bb and crank (chainring hits on chainstay) needed spacer/washers on chainring bolt to to taken up slack of missing ring or use shorter single speed bolts

I'll be stripping a old 3x9 st setup can offer cluster chainring shifter/brakes rear derailleur(wheels very worn) trade fit what have you please pay transport I'm in Richards Bay KZN

I'm in a similar position wanting to go from 3x9 to 1x11 or 1x10 need new brakes and shifters as I currently have st's plan to buy shifters and brakes and derailleur on the hub and cluster,chain and chainring new over time gonna ride my 3x tot hy k k

was one of my got to do TV races this year unfortunately scheduling put paid to that what other TV races are around in KZN imnin richards bay so where vs will be a trek maybe something at holla trails

So glad for this thread needed after a chain slip doing intervals eish gravel is hard and sharp both knees and both elbows still trying to figure what happened
