I currently run a triple chainring. I’m thinking of removing the big chainring and just running a double with a bash guard.
Do I simply need to adjust the limiter screw on my existing front mech set up to stop it trying to move in to the non-existant third ring?
Is there anything else I need to change or do to the front mech or shifter?

thanks

You got it spot on. Simple really.

thanks Chase. It seemed logical but a bit too simple!

Could you be doing with this? 😉

AB – what an opportunist!

Thanks, just thinking about it at the moment. My middle ring is 32t so maybe I’d need a 32t guard?

never adjusted nowt, just don’t try and shift up to third. Easy really.

I’m running a 22t/36t/FSA ’36’t bashring set up and it’s spot on. Gives me a good gear range with some nice top end speed for the downhills.

When I previously ran a 22/32 setup I was spinning out on the descents and getting left behind 🙁

nothing to chance. Just don’t shift to big ring

I didn’t adjust anything, just avoid shifting up the second time.

Man up & go 1×9.
Go on.
Dare ya…

Out of interest, & primarily because I’m a thick dozy wazzak etc, why do people usually go with a bash guard when they go to a double set-up ?
Can you not just ditch the big ring & use shorter bolts…?
Am I missing something ?

Don’t bother adjusting the front deraileur, you won’t be able to change up anyway.

takisawa2, I’m going from a triple to a double specifically so I can fit a bash guard to stop the the chainring gashing the back of my leg. I hardly use the big ring so it’s no loss. I will probably change middle ring to 36t.

I got to 2+bash because I rarely used the big ring expect to get stuck on rocks…
So the bash guard is protecting the middle ring now.
