im currently running a 1x10 setup with a short cage shimano zee rear mech. can i add a double ring setup (24-32t) and run 2x10 with the same rear mech ?
depends on the cassette, couldn't hurt to try
sorry the rear cassette is 36-11t
You could probably make it work but remember the chain line will alter as well. In summary: get a medium cage
The capacity of a SRAM for MTB is 32 short/ 37 med / 45 long.
Yours is 32-24=8 and 36-11=25 ..... 25+8=33
You could chance it but it could be tight (loose).
ok thanks all, might just give it a try before buying a rear mech and see how it goes
I'll swap you the zee for my long cage slx 10spd mech...????
😉
Which front mech are you thinking of using?
The reason I ask is cos I'm using 36/24 up front and the sram x9 mech will not go low enough to have any where near ideal chain line.
was going to use an slx 10sp , just the double version
There was a bike at the LBS with the SLX one and some little rings, and normal mounts.
