On the double crank setup,

how close is the chainring to your frame?

 

I am running a 36 and it is very tight,

want to add some washers in but not sure if i can.

Here's my PYGA OneTen29 in it's latest form............YES, I know there's no dropper post!

 

XT 11-42 with OneUp 42T and 16T

XT Shadow+ RD, GS

Wolftooth NW 32T chainring with spacers

+2 links in the chain

C-guide Eco chainguide

 

Before you ask, I'm using the chainguide as I am not using the clutch, because I find shifting into the 36-42 range not as stiff this way and it avoids any chain slap I may have. I do have the OneUp RAD cage but have not tried it yet as I found everything works fine just with the b-tensioner fully in, did not need to remove the gromit.

 

Gearing seems fine but I may try 34T up front and see if I can still make the hills!

Long cage XT RD has no issues shifting and is smooth

 

The only thing left to do is to put it through it's paces on some rough terrain and make sure I don't get any chain drops. The narrow wide engagement is awesome, so hoping to not need a clutch RD.

 

The whole picture. Only lacking a decent backdrop :huh:

Bought 2nd hand from a hubber in Cpt, so waited a day :) (the seller got a new XX1 ride). I had a similar issue with international shipping a couple of months ago, 3 days from US to ZA, and then 6 weeks from W.C. to Gauteng. Strike is over now, so maybe you're lucky. Otherwise ping Kitted.co.za here about when he'll have his 40 / 42t sprockets ready.

Did My Volcan XC29er 1 x 10 conversion Myself , did a lot off internet research though , I'm not happy with the 32 t in front , because its rather flat country were I live and train , I run out off gears sometimes , will keep the 32 for the Sani , I ordered a 38T today  , so by the weekend Ill replace the 32 . Must say this XTR Derailleur shifts like a dream , The clutch system makes a big big difference .

If you don't mind me asking, how much does your bike weigh? Will also be getting a Volcan XC29 soon, and was just curious about the weight after the conversion.

Strangely enough, the only time my chain did drop was when i had the clutch system engaged. After running it without it locked i'm never had one.    Running a Raceface NW with a Zee short.
