Rick Sanchez Posted November 3, 2014 Share oopps...36 now .. damn typo!I dropped the chain on the DH track in Tokai a few times before switching to clutch mech.After clutch mech...nothing, not even chain slap. Have ridden Hoogekraal, Tokai (ST and DH track) and Jonkershoek (although not the BD run) and no chain drop yet.So all-in-all very impressed with it hey.I have run a NW ring with and without a clutch derailleur, and can't say that I can really feel the difference. Through the really rough stuff I can still hear the chain bouncing around, but I guess this is normal. Haven't dropped a chain yet though, so maybe it does make a difference...

Roshambo Posted November 10, 2014 Share he has a 3x crankset, so should be able to fit the NW chainring in the place of the existing middle chainring, so should not need to mess with the BB spacers.Don't shoot me for stating the obvious but make sure you install the said chainring on the INSIDE of the crank exactly where the middle chainring sits. I have seen guys install on the outside creating horrendous chain lines and even pulling chains apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last deciding factor is my dodgy knee. I am currently doing all my rides in the nearest gear/ratio to what this setup would be when it comes to climbing (granny). Just want to make sure that my knee will handle the extra stress without konking out before I do the conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitted Posted November 11, 2014 Share We are in the process of doing both 40& 42t CE and yes the 16t will be part of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyMike Posted November 11, 2014 Share If you are going 40 or 42 extender get the one up components RAD cage. http://int.oneupcomponents.com/collections/all-products/products/rad-cage This an brilliant piece of kit to move your top jockey wheel away from the cluster when in the mega granny gear. If you dont use this you will need to unscrew your B screw which may solve the mega granny shifting issue but the rest of your shifting will be sluggish and inaccurate. It also improves the chain wrap around the cluster and top jockey wheel. Also replacing the 15 and 17 teeth in cluster with a 16 only really works well on an XT cassette because SLX or lower ranges the cassette is riveted together and to get the 15 and 17 out you need to cut the spacer between the 15 and 17 to be able to remove them, this means that when you reassemble them they are all "loose" on your freebody and you may damage the freebody as sometimes happens in single speed conversions. So in summary for the PERFECT 1x10 conversion (mixing used and new parts can, but not always, lead to problems): New XT cassetteNew chainKitted Narrow wide front chainring16t40 or 42 extender - Kitted or One Up ComponentsOne Up Components Rad Cage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
