I have a cube stereo with an xt chainset, i would like to take off the outer ring and fit a bash and change the middle ring to either a 34t or 36t.
Firstly which chain ring should i get thats compatible with my setup?
is there anything i need to do to the xt shifters and front mech?
Ive just purchased a bionica chain guide aswell from bike-discount.de.
Any other hints and tips appreciated guys
cheers
dead easy, put your bash on outer space, your other size rings on the other holes your landed. you may consider getting a double shifter but im still using my triple shifter just remember not to hit it up. Any decent chainring will do if you get the correct number of holes for your crank. prob a 4 hole
Adjust your mech upper limit to not shift beyond middle ring and it will only allow you to shift once.
Can't find a 34t or 36t that's 10sp though is a 9sp one ok ?
Would this one be ok ?

9 and 10 speed chains have the same internal width so 10 speed chain works fine on a 9 speed ring.
Cheers bud , would the above chain ring work ok with my xt cranks ?
Oh and just read some frames struggle with 34t or 36t middle because of the chain stay i have a cube stereo btw ?
Bump
Any ring will do. 34 or 36 with a 24/26 middle
Why not go 1x10?
I don't think any ring will do, i want the big ring off and replace the the middle with something a little larger.. I want to keep the smaller ring though
