rock Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 awesome 1x10 bundle deals at CRC R2350 + vat for Race Face / Zee set up incl DHL delivery.
DuncanDoughnuts Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Have been running a 1x10 setup on all my bikes for some time and really enjoy it ... this is riding a lot of the tails in the WCMy setup on my enduro bike is 30F x 11-43R and have not had any issues climbing anything ... for my JHB bike im running a a different setup as in the picture ... 1x10 ... 34F x 11-40R , but i have also added a 24 granny gear that i will manually shift if i need to. I tend to do the "Cheat" on stage races like wine2whales (that Hamilton Russel climb kills me every year no matter how fit i am) so for that ill manually switch to the 24 in front. Hope this helps .... I see the granny as a get out of jail gear .... and only use it in extreme cases... its called INDEX SHIFTING .... as in index finger . lol
beachless Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Out of interest sake what kind of speeds do you guys get with your 1X10 setups? I have to maintain about 9km/h on the low side while going up and peddle at about 40km/h on the high side on the flats. This is for comfortable peddling I spin out at about 45km/h on down hill. Please mention the gear/wheel size:29er34T front11-36 rear175mm crank arms

rock Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 perhaps for interest sake, I stop pedaling around 24-25 kph on my 1x1

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I considered the same thing, manual 24T up front, but run a chain guide so no go.
Orbit Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks,Any Idea on the low end? 9km/h on those looong hills can get to me.You can definitely go slower than that on the hills, and you'll get faster the stronger you get. Edited my previous post as I checked again today. Can easily hit 40kph on the FLATS without spinning out but that's about where I spin out on the downhills.
AlanD Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 How do you calculate correct chainlenght for 1x9 setup?
Super_mil Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 How do you calculate correct chainlenght for 1x9 setup?Same as you would if you were running 2 or 3 chainrings up front... Wrap the new chain around the largest cog on the cassette and the largest chainring (for 1 x 9 you only have one to choose from ). Bring the ends of the chain together then add a link or two depending on your bikes chain growth as it runs through its travel (if it is a dual sus).
pellieg Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Quick Question, going 1 x 10 with a 34 upfront and 40 extender at the rear with 16 middle looking to replace my rear derailer , as its not a clutch at the moment, so here is the quistion , do i get the long cage or medium cage
cadenceblur Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Medium. They're also on sale at CWC at present, so your timing is good.
