Hi guys, im thinking of replacing my Gx 12 speed crank with a X0 10 speed carbon crank. Will the X0 fit? I cant see why not. Thanks.

It will work, however, I would recommend changing the chain ring.

 

The 10 speed chainring isn't a narrow wide version, meaning you would likely experience some dropped chains.

I suggest getting a narrow wide 11/12 speed Chainring with the correct BCD to fit that carbon 10 Speed crank

Many things to consider

 

 

Like is the spindle gxp,bb30,dub ?

 

Bcd or direct mount compatibility ?

 

Crank arm length ?

 

Photos will be a good start

It should have a removable spider, so just remove the spider and put a direct mount narrow wide ring on. Job done.

Then you're winning. Millions of options for a direct mount 12 speed NW ring, just make sure you get the right offset for your frame.

I installed a 2012 SRAM XO crank to my 2018 Scott Spark, just fitted a 3mm offset Absolute Black direct mount chainring and works like a charm.

If GXP then just remove the 4 bolt spider and fit a 6mm offset Xsync Direct Mount chain-ring for a std 142mm x 12mm rear axle setup or

3mm offset Xsync Direct Mount chain-ring for Boost set up.

 

Where you may run into a problem is the Q factor. IS your crank a Q156 or Q168?

IF Q168 then you are good to go.
