  • Switching from 3×9 to 1 x 10 – what do I need

    So I think I’m going to move from 3×9 on my soul.

    I think I need the following – can anyone confirm if I’m missing anything important?

    New 10sp chain
    New 10sp cassette
    New 10sp mech , can I use a short or medium cage?
    A chain device (I have one in the spares box to test out)
    An unramped/ single speed type chainring. I’m thinking 34 teeth to fit on my current 9sp xt chainset. Will a 10sp chain run ok on an unramped chainring
    Some short chainring bolts

    Thanks
    Tim

    You seem to have it under control. I’m just using a ramped 36t 9-spd ring on mine without problems. Yes to short bolts, unless you’re running a bash. A shorter mech will work too. You don’t list a 10-spd shifter; I assume that’s implied?

    You definitely need a 10 speed shifter
