Jewbacca Posted September 7, 2020 Share If the bike is boost, then 3mm off set, if its not boost, then 6mm off set. Edited September 7, 2020 by Jewbacca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnavel Posted September 7, 2020 Share Rapide chainrings work well and they are cost effective: https://www.rapide.co.za/product/rapide-forged-dm-ring-6mm-offset-v2-0/ If your bike is non-boost, then you require the 6mm offset. Sloggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCTG Posted September 7, 2020 Share Have you considered moving up the cassette to 11-50 and keep 32 chainring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted September 7, 2020 Share thank you so much its non boosteany chainrings you preferI have no real preference to be honest. I currently have Lyne Direct mount chain rings on both mtb's and they work brilliantly. SRAM GXP mountings, so I would siggest getting in touch with Dayle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will really help those legs of yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBK Posted September 7, 2020 Share You also get 11-46 cassettes for 11spd but you might not have the long range derrailleur that can manage the 46 jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBK Posted September 7, 2020 Share I wouldn't change to 30T as you'll lose so much on the top end that you'll spin out very quickly on flats and downhills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnavel Posted September 7, 2020 Share You also get 11-46 cassettes for 11spd but you might not have the long range derrailleur that can manage the 46 jump. E13 cassettes (9-46) work well with the XX1 rear derailleur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted September 7, 2020 Share The suggestions come down to budget.... E-thirteen cassette is what? 3 grand on special? New SRAM cassette is anywhere from 1500 to 4k. New chain ring.... R400 So while I would say in an ideal world, get a wider range cassette, on a smaller budget, a 30 tooth will give you a better high end spin at a fraction of the cost. Also, if you compare those with 32/11 Shimano low end, the ratio is 2.909 30/10 is 3, so it will still be a better low end ratio than anyone running 32/11 with their shimano system DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCTG Posted September 7, 2020 Share Save for what will really make a difference and make you happy over the long term...my guess is the cheaper option will bring short term relief and no real gain for those long rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted September 7, 2020 Share Have you considered moving up the cassette to 11-50 and keep 32 chainring? Is there an 11speed 11-50 cassette available that fits on a XD driver body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
