Upgrade to SRAM NX 1x12 - Different Derailleur Hanger?

[philip.maree]

Do I need a new Derailleur Hanger if I upgrade from Shimano 2x10 to SRAM NX 1x12?

 

I can't seem to find any resources online indicating that it is required, but my LBS says it can't be done otherwise?

 

Has anyone that upgraded had a similar issue?

Depends. Shimano has a direct mount standard, which won't work with SRAM. If you've got one of these you'll need a new hanger.

 

A pic of the bike may help.

Thanks for explaining that, the direct mount standard makes sense. 

 

Just interesting that none of the sites promoting the upgrade kit to SRAM NX 1x12 mentions that. Which gives the impression that the upgrade kit contains everything needed.

For most bikes, yes.  But not all.

Also the upgrade kits don't include the chainring which you'll also need.

No new chainring needed if upgrading from 1x11

That depends on how far you've dragged the chainring through your nought...
