Currently running a sram x9 2 x 10 set up on my whyte 901, I was loosing the chain a lot on rough descents so added a medium cage x9 type 2 rear derailleur. This has helped but not eliminated the problem, I have the chain as short as I can and have adjusted the front mech. The chain seems to stay on better when on the small chain ring. Could this just be a case of the large chain ring being worn?
Considering either a new cassette/chain and deore crank set. The other option would be to buy a narrow wide chain ring but would I be able to fit this to my current sram double crankset? Sorry for long rambling post.
Blackspire stinger ftw
You can't use a narrow wide on a 2x setup. My advice is go 1x10, with 42 expander if you need it
I fitted a Gamut three years ago and have not dropped a chain since, which, judging by reports, is more than can be said for thick thin rings and dodgy clutch mechs.
As above get a Stinger, Gamut are a bit overpriced imo.
I used to run a stinger on a 2x10 slx groupset was a really good bit of kit for the ££
Me too stinger for 3 years not dropped a chain once, 2x9
Thanks for replies, how much extra drag if any would a stinger add to the drive chain, just don't want to feel like the bike is dragging on singletrack/climbs as most of my riding is xc/trail based?
None that's noticeable in my opinion. pretty quite too
fit and forget, it wont annoy you or feel noticeably draggy
