just gone to 1x9 setup and at the moment running 32 t front 11-32 rear , I have seen some cassette with a 11-34 so the 34 t would give me an even easier gear ??? or would the 2 extra teeth not make much difference ??
It would give you an easier gear yes.
It would make a difference, but you may not notice.
I see cheers I also see CRC selling a 12 -36 not sure if this is possible ???
As long as its 9 speed it should be fine. Its probably a 29er specific one, but as far as I know will still work, but you may have to adjust your mech.
im thinking of going 1x9 but do I need a chain retention device above the chainring?
I have a 32T ring that works fine for where I ride, but also a blackspire stinger on the BB mount.
I dont really want to get a new chain guide jobby as the stinger works great - I think I've seen ones that mounts on the seatube where my mech was but its on a five so the space there is limited. Where can you get these type? Who sells them?
To go with your Stinger you'd need something along the lines of the [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=21874 ]DMR Chain Cage[/url]. The Paul's Chain Keeper type guides would not, by my reckoning, be much use at somewhere like the place which shall not be named - you'd probably be losing the chain off the top of the ring quite regularly.
Yes, the extra 2t does make a difference. It means my 22t is pretty much redundant anywhere on Cannock Chase. But thats just me, old slow me.
