Kranky Posted November 4, 2013 Share I have a 32T on my 1x9, and my legs cope ok. I'm not riding long distances though. I just ride in loops up and down as much single track as possible, usually 2 - 3 hours worth. Edited November 4, 2013 by Nick.

Craigwt Posted November 4, 2013 Share Yes that is a lot of elevation for the short distances, are you riding enduro courses? According to me your physical condition says you can keep the 34 and just try a bit harder now, it will get easier. That's just the way our trails are I guess.  Thanks all... guess I'll keep at it with the 34 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/132903-what-size-chainring-is-good-on-1x10/page/3/#findComment-2119966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartie Posted November 4, 2013 Share 34T should be fine. Been doing some research myself and also thinking of going to a 34T on a 1x10 soon. I must just train a bit harder. PS: I ride a 52T (on my road bike) Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/132903-what-size-chainring-is-good-on-1x10/page/3/#findComment-2119989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 4, 2013 Share Craig, 34 is what I ride. Tokai, delvera and contermans. 11-36 at the back. You get used to it! Plus I just went for my first ride in 5 weeks with the gammy knee. No protest from the knee except when I pushed off with it.

I was planning on investing in a proper narrow wide ring so that I can get rid of this noisy chain guide... So I wanted to make sure... I think I might stick with the chain guide for another couple of rides... The chain is rubbing the guide when in the easiest gear... super annoying Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/132903-what-size-chainring-is-good-on-1x10/page/3/#findComment-2120015 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets rid of the rubbing noise...

DubbelBuys Posted November 14, 2013 Share I know my reply is a bit late, but I also opted for a 34T x 10 (36-11) on my Cotic BFe (26") & I have to admit that the first ride was the toughest. If you have an easier gear then chances are you will use it & 'never' get out of your comfort zone. The body just needs to be 'shocked'. Next time it (your body) knows what's coming & it won't be that bad as the first time. Stick with the 34T. You will get fitter faster sticking with it rather than trying to become fitter using your other bike with lower gear ratios. Hats off to you Peach for riding a 38T Craigwt 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/132903-what-size-chainring-is-good-on-1x10/page/3/#findComment-2129960 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted November 14, 2013 Share Craig I ride 32t on a 1x9 setup with a 34x11t cassette. This works well with lots of climbing involved. A 34t ring with a top 36t on your cassette should be good. The above is on a 26er 160mm travel duallie that weighs in at 15.6kg and with heavy slow rolling tyres Edited November 14, 2013 by Hairy Craigwt 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/132903-what-size-chainring-is-good-on-1x10/page/3/#findComment-2130012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
