DR ◣◢ Posted August 27, 2012 Share The new SLX 2x10 is super flippen sexy. Paired with a nice Gusset, Renthal or Blackspire chainring. YUM! http://gp1.pinkbike.org/p4pb7777730/p4pb7777730.jpgwith http://www.tredz.co.uk/prodimg/36876_1_Zoom.jpg Mine is rigid. Its fun but can get bloody uncomfortable after a while. If you do go rigid a set ESI chunky grips is a must have. 8 speed or dedicated SS or track chain.

Eldron Posted August 27, 2012 Share Da Bomb and Fireye both make great spacer kits and chain tensioners. You'll need: Spacer KitChain tensioner (with cog or separate)Single speed chainSingle speed chain ringChain ring bolts (SS ones are narrower) Fork can be either bur rigid gets more brownie points :-) How wide are your bars? Wider is better for "swimming". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NINER_boy Posted August 27, 2012 Share All depends on the budget, You can get a Rotor crank or even a SRAM X0 crank (the 3x10 cranks will work, they have a BCD of 104mm, what you need for dedicated SS chain-rings). RE the fork, that will be your preference.The rigid is REALLY hardcore SS-ers vs. slightly more compliant / comfortable 100mm shocks. My advice on chains, go straight for a 1/8" chain and sprockets.PS, look for the ones with the wide foot!!! It will help stop the sprocket from eating into the aluminum freebody.Go for a 32T chainring, and a selection of 2-3 sprocets, 17,18,19.Chain-tensioner, DaBomb is quite good. That should do for now.
