Shimano 1x10 conversion options

[Flowta]

I have a SLX 11-36 Cassette, this is only possible on the XT Cassette?

 

Edit

And the Oneup components i have to order online? Nowhere available in SA?

 

Don't see why you can't use an SLX or Deore for that matter

I don't know about Oneup components but Evobikes had the Wolftooth version.

wooftooth, trex, one up all, the same, except one up you get a 16 tooth sprocket that replaces the 15/17 for a 3 - 3 tooth jump rather than a 4-2 tooth jump

I am running xt on training bike, xtr on race bike, not sure about SLX

 

Yip have to order online from oneupcomponents.com $90 for 40 tooth and 16tooth.

Not 100% sure, but dont think you can remove the 17T on the SLX, but will check it out...thnx for the advice

What sprocket you running for the 11-38 on the rear?

 

Is it a standard or modified cassette. What sprocket did you remove?

Unless it's just a non nw sprocket. I run non me on my 1x10.

But I do see he mentioned xx1. I think he is very confused on what he has on his bike.

Where do you generally ride? Obviously not very hilly terrain or off-road. That's world champion busting gearing that.

 

Julien absalon ran an 11-36 and 36 front at pmb xco WC. And at the last WC he ran 11-40 11 speed shimano with 38 up front.

 

Shurter ran xx1. 10-42 and 36.

If you go for a modded 11-42 cassette and use a XT medium cage derailleur you should really look at OneUps RAD cage. It makes shifting as smooth as you are used to from the normal setup.

 

I ordered two and have one for sale (save the shipping cost) (https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/101832-oneup-rad-cage-for-xt-for-42t-conversion)

I invite anybody interested to give it a go on my bike.

 

Anyway, apart from that I am super happy with my 1x10 setup. I normally run 32t with a 11-42 cassette but also used a 36t in front for the 100miler. But this is really only needed if you don't want to be dropped on the flats. For Cape Town style single track or Table Mountain riding the 32t with the 11-42 cassette is a fit-and-forget setup. If you get your hand onto a 16t cog, use it. It makes sense but its also not a deal breaker without it.

I really need to improve my setup

 

Currently using a 36T up front with a 11-34 cassette

 

So far its been fine, but the day will come when I wish I had two more teeth at the back

I'm running a 32 n/w chainring front and i removed my 15t and 17t on rear cassette. I installed a Shimano 16t and a 42t from rapidé. I'm using a original 11-36 cassette and x9 medium cage type 2.1 rear derailer. I am so happy with this convertion. I would recommend this to anyone.
