Looking at going 2x10 with a bash and chain device.
Ideally i would like to convert my existing xt chainset, can this be done ? Also which chain device is compatible ? I've heard that some ie blackspire devices won't fit .
Cheers
stinger doesn't fit
Do you know which ones do fit bud ?
no, let me know if you find one. @2x10, maybe hold out for these new chain tension mechs from Shimano/Sram.
Think it looks like picking up an e13 drs. that is the only one i could see that would fit
i know its not a full on chain device but i have fitted one of those bionicon chain guides on the chainstay and so far its worked really well. Gonna get one of the new xt shadow plus mechs when they come out too.
Thanks haribo been looking at that one too
I've got a 2010 alloy stereo and it has a press fit BB. I'd always assumed that it wouldn't be possible to use a BB mounted chain device with this. Am I correct?
Do some of the Stereos have a threaded BB?
Just ordered the bionica v2
xt 10spd chainset can this be covered to 2x10 ?
yeah. you sound like me last month. i got my bionicon and converted my xt chainset to 2x10 then fitted an e13 bash guard havent looked back since. all works together really well
why did the stinger not fit? is there not iscg tabs on the frame?
I think the stinger fouls the chain stay as there so wide. and there are no iscg tabs on a cube stereo
haribo, what middle ring did you fit ? Do you know if a 34t or a 36t middle Will fit ?
36 middle should fit. See about a short cage mech if it don't run good after u do it
I got a Stinger to fit my Fritzz using the bottom bracket model (normal HT2 BB). Did need a hacksaw job on the back plate of the device to reduce it a bit on one side to avoid the chain stay, but nothing too scary.
I have a 34T at the moment and am happy with that. Got an 11-36 on the back so have a good variety to pick from. was possibly planning on getting a smaller cassette at a later date if i wanted to change the gearing at all but a 34 is good enough for the mo.
Ah thats what i needed to know cheers haribo , where did you get your 34t from ?
thats a very good question. um having a bit of a brain fart. i think i may have inherited it off a friend. got it a long time ago then found it sitting in a box. i ran a 32T 2x10 for a long time and didnt have any issues with that
