hey guys i currently run a 2x10 setup on my stumpy evo 2011 but im looking to swap that too a 1x10 to clean up the cockpit and just make the bike lighter and more agressive.i ride trail centers pretty much all the time.
just not sure what tooth to run?
cheers
anyone please?
😥
Im running 34 at the front and 36 large sprocket at the back. Doesnt save that much weight once you've added on a chain device though.
I did it because I rarely used the granny ring or the big ring on 9 spd. When I got 10spd, I thought I could get a slightly lower gear than the 32-32 on the 9 spd but get also higher gear than 1x9.
Also granny ring clearance of the chainring bolt tabs around internal press fit bb shells concerned me a little. Lots of potential for paint scrape-age and grinding.
What is more 'aggressive' about it?
32
I run a 40t 1x9 but I much prefer the descents. Did the Monkey Trail @ Cannock yesterday and would've been happier with a 38/36 .
cheers guys!
Running: 32T with a 11-34 on my Nomad
34T with a 11-36 on my Solaris
Been running 1 x set-ups for 5+ years now, no need for any more gears for trail centre riding IMO.
I run a 32 on my Soul, been single ring up front for a few years now. Not much difference in weight and I'm Certainally no more aggressive than I was with a double set up.. Just looks a lot better i think.
Trial an error with chainrings, what is on it just now? Do u like the "middle" one? Can you ride all you want on it?
If so.. Use that, if not, get a lesser toothed one.. Simples!
