Shebeen Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Not mentioned on this thread, the 1x10 or 1x11 helps a lot in the mud. This was the original reason why I decided to swap to 1x10. Did Sani2C in the mud three years back, my partner was 1x11 and had no issues. I was 2x10. On Day 2 eventually I could not change gears up front. The derailleur was scraping mud off the tire and depositing on the drivetrain. The front cable too was wrecked in one day, so much mud inside the sleeve. depending on your frame HT/FS - you can fudge a plastic bottle off cut onto the back of the seat tube - stops muck coming off the rear tyre into the gap between FD and frame -
Gregc Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Just changed my Anthem to 1x 11 with a 32T NW ring on the front and a 11-42 at the back. Weight saving around 0.37kg but I weight 96kg so that is insignificant in my case. Did the Helderberg trails yesterday. Struggled on the last concrete bit near the mast but just need to HTFU. But then I struggled a bit when I converted from 3 x10 to 2 x10. After a while you will get used to it. Time will tell......
raptor-22 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Your problem is not the 11-42..its the 96kg
Rouxenator Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Rapide 32t NW with 9000km done, rode it like that on for the past month. New Kitted 32t NW with blue chainring bolts and Sunrace 11t-42t cassette The full picture

Rouxenator Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I spent a lot of time cleaning it after the last ride on Saturday - did not want the LBS to charge me extra for a bike wash. Normally it is covered in brown dust and dirt since that is what I ride through on most of my local trails. Super excited to try it out tomorrow. I use my MTB as commuter bike so on the way to work it is 11km of tar and traffic, afte work I hit Eden trail and some of the cool bits at Coetzenburg on my way back home.
Rouxenator Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Jis chom maar daai saal is hoog...jys seker heel eerste bo teen 'n opdraend op....want jyt afdraend gery tot bo ;-)Ja, almal tune my die saal is te hoog, maar behalwe vir super lang rides (K2C/Transkaroo) ry ek altyd met tekkies en ek is geneig om met my tone te trap. Weird, maar dit is wat werk vir my. Daarom wat die saal so hoog is. Die MTB sien baie min cleats.
Pikey Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 As a skeptic of 1x11 I eventually pulled the trigger. And couldn't be happier absolutely love it's simplicity and crisp changes . That 42 dinner plate is brilliant . And I still put a 34 up front. Have 1x10 on my other bike with a praxis 11/40 cassette ,and for some reason and maybe some one can explain to me. Why does the 1x11 range and 1x10 range feel very different. Are the ratios that vastly different ? 1x11 and not going back to 2x ...

Why does the 1x11 range and 1x10 range feel very different. Are the ratios that vastly different ? 1x11 and not going back to 2x ... I think the 'steps' in the 1*11 ratio are just a lot smoother at least to my mind ....
Pikey Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 I think the 'steps' in the 1*11 ratio are just a lot smoother at least to my mind ....they definitely feel smoother,sometimes 1x10 still not quite the right gear. Not so with 1x11.
Rouxenator Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 they definitely feel smoother,sometimes 1x10 still not quite the right gear. Not so with 1x11.Strange. Even on 1x9 I never had that issue.
