Shimano 1x10 conversion options


BigD

Recommended Posts

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.

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

?

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

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

 

I've got a spreadsheet somewhere with them.

 

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

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.
