XT Groupset but converted to 1x10 with a chainguide. and then Hope hubs with some rims that im still deciding on .... Then a 160mm Pike The frame .... well thats for Christmas time! But I can say it WILL be carbon!

XT Groupset but converted to 1x10 with a chainguide. and then Hope hubs with some rims that im still deciding on .... The frame .... well thats for Christmas time! but it will be paired with a 160mm PikeNice...about the 1x10 group which model DR, cassette(toofs) and chainring(toofs) did you go for
nigelhicks Posted September 16, 2014 Author Posted September 16, 2014 havent got it yet ... but would presume it would be the long cage clutch derailleur ... then whatever toofs the guys at the LBS suggest for me to not suffer too much uphill but still have fun down. Im thinking about something similar to what CRC have going here http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/shimano-xt-1x10-speed-drivetrain-bundle/rp-prod126347 Probably a 34 or 36 tooth front with an 11-36 rear?? I donno
rouxtjie Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Ta, reason I am asking is that I want to do the same in the near future with my 10spd setup but seems like going with zee RD is the way to go
Cruz Addict Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 hmm so have you decided on a frame as yet?if not wait a few weeks as yeti have announced the SB6C, basically the same bike Graves used to win so many races this season, switch infinity 157mm travel and yes of coarse carbon. basically pure pornography!!
NotSoBigBen Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Ta, reason I am asking is that I want to do the same in the near future with my 10spd setup but seems like going with zee RD is the way to go I have 2 bikes with 1* setups, a 1*10 (Shimano) and a 1*9 (SRAM) both with 'normal' medium cage RD's and Rapide NW chainrings and have had no drops of the chain yet so I wonder about the necessity for clutch RD's? Disclaimer - I may just ride like a girl so don't actually stress those drivetrains
nigelhicks Posted September 16, 2014 Author Posted September 16, 2014 Frame is chosen - not ordered yet as i have to wait for stock ... But just got the total price of the build .. GULP! ... Looks like I will be poor again for next year!
Brian Fantana Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Ta, reason I am asking is that I want to do the same in the near future with my 10spd setup but seems like going with zee RD is the way to go I seriously considered the Zee RD at the start of the year when I did my 1x10. The problem I had with it is that a 36 rear sprocket is the maximum size it is rated to handle. I therefore decided to futureproof my conversion (I may get a 11-42 cassette in the future) by getting a medium SLX Shadow+ RD. It works awesome, I cannot compliment my SLX RD enough, it is an absolute workhorse.

patches Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 What's your thoughts? bild.png Saw some Haibikes for sale and rental at one of the bike shops in Morzine. They had the AM/enduro bikes and the e-bikes. Well priced for the specs they were running.
Brian Fantana Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 What's your thoughts? bild.pngIn my opinion the top tube looks a little on the short side. Head angle looks lekker though.
popcorn_skollie Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 what about a mondraker foxy?http://factoryjackson.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Mondraker-Foxy-C-Launch-2014-6-of-36.jpg
