  • Will this setup work for 3×10 – 2 x10…

    So knackered my slx 3 x10 shifters which have no 2×10 option…

    What I am planning for now is keeping slx 3×10 front mech and replacing with XT M780 2×10 shifters

    Then removing big ring at front replacing with a bash and blackspire stinger…

    Anyone see any reason the front mech wouldn’t work with these shifters in 2×10 mode or anything else in this setup not working?

    Thanks

    3×10 shifters DO have a 2×10 option… just click once! All you have to do is set the limit adjust screws. Do they not work at all now anyway?

    Left hand shifted – was out playing on bike last night and loud crack then heard something ping and now completely lifeless just push them back and forwards with no resistance or cable movement….

    New XT M780 shifters will have a switch on the front shifter that lets you choose 2x or 3x. As above, you’ll need to adjust the limit screw after you remove the big ring.

    Your front derailleur should work ok with a 2×10 since all that you have done is remove the big ring.

    The only real difference in a 2×10 front derailleur is that they aren’t designed to handle as big of a front chainring as a triple one is.
