Rick Sanchez Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Has anyone tried this with a SLX Cassette? I'm already running a 1x10, but would like to add a 42 tooth cassette adapter. Just want to know if I can fit the adapter and a 16 tooth cog?

Also you need to be using a 11-36 cassette otherwise the jump is too much to the 42
Lance Roberts Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Just converted my Spark 910 and I'm loving it!32T Narrow Wide on the front, took out the 15T and 17T and replaced with a 16T, added a 40 expander on the back. Now I have just enough climbing gears, right amount of decent gears for those nice KZN dirty roads and enough gears in between for pacing through the nicest single track. Very happy And I lost 400 grams of weight on my bike too.
Lance Roberts Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Looking goodSorry about the ugly plastic protective thing on the crank, it's coming off tomorrow. Sounded like a good idea at the time...
cadenceblur Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I hear you. Those crank boots are awesome though. They really work well!
Hairy Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Could I please ask one of you to take a pic of the set up with the chain in the 42/40t and then also when on the smallest cog in order to visually see the chain length / der in both extremes.

XT Shadow clutch rear drl.
Onegear Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 IMO that chain is way too short.Looks fine to me. As if it goes much longer it will be really slack on the rest of the cogs cause there is such a big jump from the big cog to the second biggest etc.

Assume a 11 tooth. My opinion is that there is already too much tension. My 1X10 setup (11-36) is in a far more relaxed position when on the 11 tooth. But if that setup is working then great.
