Shimano 1x10 conversion options

[BigD]

So new groupset time, currently powered along the trails by the 2 x 10 XT groupset but loving the 1x look and minimalists that comes with it.

 

Current predicament:

 

1 x 10 conversion (11-36T cassette with 32T narrow width chain ring upfront)

 

or

 

1 x 10 conversion (11-42T cassette, removing the 17T making space for the 42T adapter with a 34T narrow width chain ring up front)

 

Option 1 - Cheaper but loses both bottom and top gear

Option 2 - More expensive but maintains both bottom and top gear ratios on a 1 x 10

 

Thoughts comments... go!

If you go option 2 try see if you can get a 16t sprocket and remove both the 15 and 17, it will give you a more even spread.

 

You won't have as big of a jump.

I went 2. Awesome.

Option 2 is very temting, oneup components ship a 16 tooth with your 40 or 42. Is the jump between 15 and 19 noticeably big if you dont install a 16

?

What would the full set of ratios be if you went 1x10 with a 16T

I have a brand new 16t for you from one up components

Option 2.5

 

34t front. 42t rear.

 

Remove the 15 for flatter events where you need the 11. And the 11t for a smooth ratio in your back yard

the 13t does not have the grooves for the lockring to bite onto. tried and failed

I've got a spreadsheet somewhere with them.

 

I'll post it when I get in front of the PC later

If the OP doesn't take either off your hands then I will

this works well, no issues so far. the simplicity is great, and the transision from 15 to 19t sprocket hasnt een much of a bother!

What about the xtr 9000 11 speed shifter and derailer and the sram x1 10-42 cassette, looks like shimanos gonna be cheaper than sram 11 speed parts. With a wolftooth on the front.
