Hi, I've been running Mega 9 on 48-36-26 and a rear cassette of 11-34t on my on-one inbred and I've basically worn the groupset out.
I appreciate it's an unorthodox setup but I like to run big gears, semi slicks (conti double fighters) high pressures. I ride very fast, munch the hills out of the saddle in big gears with lower cadence on a varied mix of proper off-road, tracks and road.
I'm happy with that set-up (so there's not much point suggesting dual chainset etc) but now I am looking at a new groupset I see all of the 10 speed stuff seems to come with 44t max. I've also looked at just replicating the Mega 9 stuff but parts seem to be beginning to be discontinued for this and if possible I'd rather go to 10 speed.
Does anyone know if you can run (or has a setup)the newer Dyna-sys 10 speed with the gearing above? (I've had a good look but can't find anything) taking into account not just the availability of a 48t 10 speed chainset, but also capabilities of the front / rear mechs in the series. I'd really rather run XT MTB rather than the LX touring stuff.
Thanks in advance, J
Bumpety..
yes.

10speed double and triples are 4 arm 104/64mm pcd - so you just get rings to suit
obviously shimano do mechs to suit...
Yep, you can, as above.
48t ring? Double Fighters? How mid-90s!
