1x10

One thing about the change over is that it doesn't look right with one 32 up front to my eyes. So use't to seeing a 42/32. But changing gear is now much quicker up and down the cassette with out thinking about the 42. I'm happy to have changed. Never thought i would. How does a 'narrow wide tooth' design chain ring reduce chain fall??

Look at how a normal chainring wears to give yourself a clue, slightly longer teeth without the need for shifting ramps or profiling.

Swinley Forest was a blast - 44t up front with a max 28t cassette, kept up with most and didnt die despite really only using the big ring all the way round.

All clear now Ta

One of my favorite winter set-ups is 1x9.

Has somebody pointed out concerning sprockets, it does require buying 2 cassettes
and splitting them all up to form the ratios I wanted.

Re:

I'm running 11-42 on the back and 30 up front. I should probably move to 32 or even 34, 30 is way too low even for the hills around here.

Re:

I run,
1 x 10 (36 front - 11-42)
1 x 11 (36 front - 11-42)
1 x 7 (26 front - 14-32) on the fat bike, when your going that slow you don't need masses of range and a narrow wide front ring.
1 x is very simple and reliable. Plus its ultimately retro (pre front derailleur age).

still looks odd. But great riding. Next the Trimble

Im hoping to convert my old Giant ATX to 1x10 set up but what i dont understand is the measurements that are quoted when doing this. I read somewhere that the alignment might be an issue and the measurements are a guide to how this can be fixed/ corrected.

First time doing this so I dont fully understand it. Any explaination would be great- thanks!

 

[tintin40]

measurements? I'd be keen to know this too.

Not sure what measurements you're referring to?

WRT alignment, just make sure your chainring is 45-50mm from the centre line of your seat tube. If you're running a 3 ring chainset, just use the space for the middle ring.
