And my 1 x 10 setup fitted.  36 T front / 40T expander and 16t sprocket rear.

Very impressed with the Kalbo stuff and it works well!  Did quite a bit of climbing over the weekend and had no problems with gearing.

I'm going to be playing around with my 1x10 setup.

I'm currently running a 34t round up front and an 11-36 cassette.

I'm going to be swopping these out with an Absolute Black 34t Oval and a Praxis long range 11-40

I think it'll be quite a good combo, time will tell i suppose.

Will post pics once done.

OK, so a bit of feedback after a couple of rides on my 1x10 11/40 R   /  36T F

 

The 1x10 setup is flippen good!  I miss my top end sorely when on open roads or declines, but the silence that has been bestowed on my bike, the cleaner handlebar, and the simplistic look works for me.

 

My gearing is pretty wide as-is, so climbing is still very manageable.

 

I'm going to stick with it for a while and see how it goes, but for now I'm happy with the changeover.

Who brings in the ONEUP expanders? Looking for a 44T for SRAM.

 

Only issue I have with my 1x10 is spinning out the 36Tx11T @ 55km/h (most I can manage as I am not the flash)

 

the 36T x 42T is just a bit tough with 27.5 and 2.25 tyres. Which is why I want the 44T for SRAM from ONEUP.

I went today to 1 x 10 setup. Took it for 35km ride and no problem. Got it from Attie at infinity components. 11-36 setup.

Will I be able to put a 1 x ring on my crank like you did?

104bcd

Tnx Myles, if you say 104 bcd, how can I measure that or is it supposed to stand on the crank. Do you measure across or the holes next to each other?
