[Closed] Worth 1x10 over 1x9?

Depends I guess, its hilly here and I did run 1x9 then 1x10, the 36 out back certainly helps! you could go 34 up front?
Im running a 2x10 on the niner atm and 26/38 with a full spread out back is great on longer rides.
btw got any os flat bars you want to shift? min 660..

Cheers - bike is for longer stuff, so might be worth the 36.

Nope - just the set I need for this build.

got some SRAM 2x10 shifters for sale if your interested. Would sell the RH seperatly if you want. £30

A 9 speed rear may go as low as 36, but the next cog down is a big jump, you may find that the closer jump down the gears given by a 10 speed is better.

Try a 32 front first. I rode a mates 1x10 (32 at the front and 36 at the rear) found it just about OK. If it was any harder I would have walked hills Id normally ride.

See if you can try before you buy.

Or at least get a setup where you only have to experiment with the front ring - its cheaper.

I normally ride ss, so used to grinding up hills rather than spinning. I've used 1x9 before but years ago on an old bike.

Clink
I have 1x10 on 29er and 1x9 on 26er
to be honest if you have 9 speed gear around go with that, not a lot of difference really . Get a 36 rear though you can climb anything with that.

worth it ???? prob not unless you are starting from scratch (oh and 10 speed will be more expensive)

tang I may have some easton flat os jobbos 685mm flat with a 9 degree sweep if that's any use to you.

clink 1x9 with an eliptical front will see you right, you won't need the extra at the back then 😉

12-36 x 32 9sp will get you up anything
