Epic change to 1x10

[rizzitelli]

I bought a new Specialized Epic in September 2015 and had it changed from 2x10 to 1x10.

 

In front they put on the SRAM Chain ring 1-32T 11SPD X-SYNC,  with a SRAM 1031 10SPD chain and a new cassette PraxisWorks 10SPD  11T-40T.

 

Now, after 4 months all is broken, chain ring, chain and cassette and I had to spend another 3600 Rand to replace everything. The question is if the chain ring 11spd is compatible with the 10spd chain? I never had any issues like that after 4 months with other bikes, not even after 2 yrs.

Can you elaborate on "all is broken"

no its not the 10 spd chain is wider than 11 speed thus the chainring is only contacting a little bit of the chain at one time , basically is puting a lot more pressure on a smalleer part of the chain,    get a NW ring from      Hope, Kitted,Wolftooth, Rapide  and that should sort out the issue

 

 

 

edit - a messed up chain eats away your cassette and jokeys very very very fast

Thank you! I bought a Absoluteblack oval chain ring T30, what do you think?

Chain, Cassette, Chain Ring

I've been riding for two years, 34T 11speed chainring with 10spd chain and x9 cassette with 42Extender. no problems other than the legs not being strong enough sometimes.
