I have just bought a bike with full X9 groupset - however it came with the 3x10 crankset yet I would prefer 2x10, but don't know what my options are...
(FWIW I currently run SLX double and bash 22-36T and would like slightly bigger gears, so 26-39T perhaps)
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Buy some new rings, put them on, adjust the front mech limiters, and go ride. You'll probably want to fiddle a bit later on if the chain line is not quite right.
Different BCD between 3x10 & 2x10. You might be able to buy a new spider and rings for your current cranks. Call your local LBS to check.
The x9 2x10 looks pretty good. They seem to be going for about £100 on eBay as people feel the need to swap them out for Shimano. Look very similar to xx to me.
Sure you could find someone to swap with - lot of new bikes coming with 2x10 cranks now.
X9 2x10 here, the cranks are the nicest bit - look like they'll shine up nicely once all the paint comes off!
