[#5457787]

Had a search but not found anything definitive. Will a new slx/xt double crankset run single ring without much bother? I know triple with the single ring in the centre spot is optimal, but the new 2x10 from shimano look a lot nicer than my current 3x10 woth a single ring and seeing as they're £65 from ribble I fancy one. Is the chain line miles out and is it a simple job to sort with spacers?

Im running 1x10 setup from an original 2x10. Havent used spacers and its running fine although any further may cause issues.

You may find that you cant run a 32t on a double as the chain may catch on the spider arms

Hmm hadn't thought of the spider catching the chain. I've got a 32t works thick thin to try out so that might kill the idea. Off to hunt out some tech docs then to try and get the sizes. Thanks
