I'm sure you'll let us know when the Shimano adapters arrive...?

 

Yes we will. Trying to exctract an exact date from the Italians is difficult!

only if you already have a clutch rear derailleur, no need for that if you have a chain guide up front

This also has to be factored into your costs as you will need it with a wolf chainring

Thankfully, that I do...

[shaper]

also factor in if you want different chainrings, 34, 36, 38, etc then that going to cost if you go the wolfring route

[fandacious]

scuse my ignorance, but is an SRAM x9 derailler a clutch derailler?

[Baaisikilist]

No. SRAM's clutch Derailleurs are called 'TYPE 2'

[Ysterperd]

You are able to get the type 2 in either a xo or x9. X9 sleightly heavier but half the price of xo

No a Chainguide does NOT need a Clutch Type RD so you will save that as well...

Hi Naas,

 

What Woolf tooth will work on a Shimano XT FC M770 crank?

Interested in going this route.

what exactky does a clutch/type 2 derailler do differently from a normal derailler?

Its suppose to keep the chain tensioned so that it isn't loose by pulling back on the chain.

Thanks Naas,

maybe you should run a special on the wolf chainring, Shimano/SRAM cassette, General Lee adapter and the clutch derailleur at some stage so that we can do the conversion.

I would need the chain and shifter as well as I am still on 9speed.

dont all deraillers do that?

when its 'on' it only moves parallel to the cogs and not forwards it that make sense......

I did the Burger 60km this weekend on my newly converted 1x10 (Wolftooth 30 blade and 11-36 cluster on 29er). I am still running my XT Shadow RD without clutch and I had absolutely no problems. Chain didn't even hint at coming off and managed to not run out of gears going up or down. Made very sure to only have the 4 links overlap though.

 

I am so impressed with my purchase.
