Can 1x become 2x ?

[117]

I have seen many threads on whether you can convert 2x to 1x by, but I want to go the other way.

 

I have an 11spd XT 1x upgrade set spare and want to use it on a frankenbuild that already has a 2x crankset and FD I'd like to retain.

 

Is there anything that would prevent me from using the 1x RD and cassette on this build or should I look for someone who wants to "upgrade" to 1x and swap out ?

 

Hmmm.. I might be tempted to swap out my 2x 11spd XT set for a 1x XT set... 

 

DM me your number if you're keen

you will require a rear derailleur with a clutch that can be turned off so that eliminate any SRAM 12 speed Eagle rear derailleur.

..... so there may be a market for the 2 x front shifters I have kicking about in the cupboard.....#justsaying
