LuckyLuke Posted May 13, 2014 Share Totally agree with the lighter wheels, going to order it anyway and just chuck it on my carbon rigid bike for starters.

Brian Fantana Posted May 13, 2014 Share You also need to allow for an adaption period, as your riding style needs to adjust to the new drivetrain. Same as with riding singlespeed. So don't judge it after the first ride, give it some time, at least 10 rides.

Jakkals. Posted May 13, 2014 Share And I was thinking about converting this morning to 1 x 10 and now I am in doubt, again!! Dont judge on what I said, It was just my first ride and day after a hardish long ride. I will definitely become more familiar with the gearing and soon it will be the norm after adaption.

BrandonF_ Posted May 13, 2014 Share And I was thinking about converting this morning to 1 x 10 and now I am in doubt, again!! I converted 1x10 two weeks ago with a 32T and 11-36 cassette and can honestly say its not that bad at all, I did the crazy climbing mudfest Gravel Travel 68km this past saturday and didnt feel any lack on either side of the spectrum, sufficient speed on the flats and enough gears on the climbs Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/131061-ultra-poormans-xx1/page/5/#findComment-2297185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted May 13, 2014 Share Running 32 x 11/34t at the moment on a 160mm travel 15 odd KG ride and it is ok on the legs going up ... have a 36t cassette at home that needs to go on and looking forward to seeing how it will ride then. Running with a chain guide and roller, so more friction/drag than a dedicated NW chainring with a clutch der.

SimpleDom Posted May 18, 2014 Share The 42T Took about 2 weeks to arrive. Love it. Starting to wish I went 36 up front though...

Wolfie1 Posted May 28, 2014 Share I've been looking into conveting my hartail to 1x10 so this is very informative. Was toying with the idea ofgoing 30 tooth up front, what are you running ? I was thinking that with an 11-36 cassette that should be adequate for the trails down here. I run the 1 x 11-36 setup. When climbing gradients 8 % or more you tend to feel it in the legs but manageable. My legs have become stronger and it cost me all of a grand for a wolf to nw from evobikes oh ja and a shortened chain.....

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted May 28, 2014 Share This is my setup, not great pics, sorry.32T Lee daisy 1x10 specific front ring, 11-36 cassette.SRAM type 2 RD.I have had numerous chain drops of late, thats why I am running the Cguide. Think it might be the chains lateral movement, will be replacing it to see if it works. Oh friendly warning, tightened the RD to try and stop the drops. Went to far and ended up snapping a hanger, was worsened by the mud I rode in but just be careful. Also I have heard that the SRAM type 2 dreailleurs tighten up over time and may need to be loosened periodically. Not sure how true this is though.
