Ha, nice to see someone do this properly rather than my proper bodge!

I didn't use mine for long as I reckoned it'd trash the freehub, i figured id just order a one-up sprocket instead.

Whilst waiting for the new sprocket I switched to a 30t chainring instead of the 34t I was on before and that seems to be fine now - I never want for a higher gear and the climbs are fine (I live at the foot of snowdon so most rides included a fairly decent climb). I'm not sure I'll bother using the 42t sprocket when it finally arrives.

@ torquil Thanks for sharing 🙂

I dont often spin out but want to keep at least a 32 up front.

I'll keep my eye on this thread, I'm about to go 1x10 so I'll see how I get on with a 36 before I start messing about.

@iffoverload - does the Alu version have a wider footprint on the freehub body? Got 240 hubs and don't fancy destroying the f/hub....

This would be good on a sportive bike for after cake - anyone tried something like this on a 2x10 105 setup ?

@sillyoldman , no its cut out of 2mm sheet not CNC. I have only used it on a steel freehub body so dont know how a Alu one would hold up.

Someone did suggest fixing the adaptor on the back of a cassette with a carrier.

where theres a will.. 😆

Interesting idea. I've installed a thick/thin chainring, but kept the small ring in place, so if i need to do a lot of climbing, I can just drop the chain by hand.
