cadenceblur Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Thanks, thus far it's going okay. Dependent on weight and strength etc. I guess. But I love the simplicity of the system, able to react to drastic changes in terrain or gradient very quickly for one. I'm actually considering swapping the 42t for a 40t as I reckon I'm losing too much speed when in the granny gear.

So much debate I'd rather chat to a guy who had it on the same bikeNot all of us are created equal. 1x10 is awesome, but you need to figure out what front ring works for you. The wrong one can really put you off the whole thing. I have 32T front rings on both my Pygas with 42T rings added to the back. For long stage races I go back to a normal 2x10 setup.
cadenceblur Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 I'm considering that for W2W in fact. Will be my first stage race.

Got some inexpensive n/r and expander rings off superstar components to try
flowCountry Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Updated my Pascoe with Shimano XTR M9000 Shifter and XT M8000 11-42 Cassette, Chain and Derailleur! Works way mor confortable than my previous 11-36 setup cadenceblur, Chavo and Hairy 3

Works way mor confortable than my previous 11-36 setup That's a medium cage correct? Maybe someone can educate me as to when one would use a long cage for a 1x setup over a medium cage? Planning on buying a medium cage but want to ensure I'm not missing something. Edited July 17, 2015 by JohannDW

cadenceblur Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Wow, those shifters and brake levers are damn near vertical!Do you go over the handlebars a lot? ;-)lol, no I don't. I made some adjustments - this was straight from the bike shop. Generally run them like that though. Johnny Lawless 1

Planning on buying a medium cage but want to ensure I'm not missing something.Only when the gap between the top and bottom exceeds 39 teeth (for shimano) Not sure of SRAM. So, never. Unless they come out with a 49t Johnny Lawless 1
cadenceblur Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Very nice cadence blur. I'm intrigued by your spare tube setup under your saddle, care to share? I'm trying to get away from the whole saddle bag thingHate saddle bags!Tube is wrapped up pretty tight (it's one of those thin tubes). Then pushed in between the saddle rails. Secured with a piece of double sided tape attached to "tube parcel" and to one of those Velcro straps. This is then wrapped around railsHope this makes sense.Do the same with the road bike, but tube is smaller so fits in a lot better. flowCountry 1

Planning on buying a medium cage but want to ensure I'm not missing something. Yep! That's correct. Shimano recommends the medium cage for 1x setup and the long cage for the 2x or 3x setup, as much as I know. Johnny Lawless 1
JXV Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 LOL, Yeah that's what I thought as well. Hmmm, 49t would be nice though ;-)You can buy a One-up 45t. It would go nicely with the 11-40 cassette Johnny Lawless 1
