MTB Kid Posted November 21, 2009 Share What do you guys think of the new trend of running single-ring upfront with the new 10-speed ( read: Sram XX ) cassettes on the market? Julian Absolon used an e13 prototype in this year's World Champs XC race .... e13 are now bringing this product to market http://bikemag.com/gear/accessories/ethirteen-unleashes-two-new-guides/ Any interest? Would it sell in SA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermanus Cycles Posted November 21, 2009 Share I think you need a Ti upgrade for your knees before fitting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora Posted November 21, 2009 Share for XC racing it will work well and the single speed guys could also use this. What would they retail for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piernas Flacas Posted November 21, 2009 Share Someone please explain what exactly this contraption does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGuy Posted November 21, 2009 Share He who is called Julien Absalon can get away with using that, us mere mortals will probably bust a knee-cap, pull an ITB and pop a vein in the forehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodbadugly Posted November 21, 2009 Share Not for us 'mortals'. Did you see the price for a XX10 speed cassette? R2200 at CRC. So also not for anybody dealing with an economical recession. Goodbadugly2009-11-21 06:49:11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowta Posted November 21, 2009 Share A lot of guys in the US and UK run 1 x 9. Personally I rarely ever get out of the middle ring up or down. (In Tokai at least) Just changed from a 32 to a 36 middle ring, so it is a bit tougher but then again I only have a 11-32 on the back. (will put a 11-34 on when I can afford it). Haven't taken the small chainring off as it is my back-up for when I'm stuffed and also not sure what to do with the dual control shifters 1x10 will work but as said already it is expensive. but it does make more sense in terms gear ratios (Sram xx being 11-36 at the back). It will allow you to have a bigger chainring up front allowing a similar low gear as one would have in the middle ring now, and a better high gear.

Aquatic Posted November 21, 2009 Share What effect would this have on your ratios?wouldnt you have a narrower range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
