Mine will probably be on a 9spd setup briefly while my 10spd stuff arrives, I'll report back.

Cool. Thanks stalker. Would love to ditch the guide on the trail bike, but you can cram your 10x for now. Will you be running 9x clutched or unclutched? Going to be hard to guage the chain holding benefits unclutched.

Unclutched, plain old boring x9 mid cage.

I see. Well, I guess if it holds a chain unclutched, and without guide(?), its a good sign. :third:

That's a thought. I have a new 10x chain I got with some other crap at one stage. Yes, it's a bees dicks, but those bees dick could just be enough to fowl up on the cassette. Worth trying.

I thought he had adapted a 10sp?
Youre prolly right though. I'm not one for reading the details. :behindsofa:

If he was running 9sp spacing, with 10 gears, they wouldn't fit on the cassette body. Surely he wouldn't have fucked around bothering with 9sp cogs +1, and individually replaced the 9sp spacers with narrower 10sp ones?
I thought I remember him starting out an experiment with a 9sp slx cassette, removing the 11t, and putting a bigger one behind the 36, but that means he couldn't have narrowed all the savings anyway, coz only the end couple of an slx are removable to change spacers,... Right?

I just did. Still not clear to my small brain, sorry. 10x chain, 10x cassette and spacings? It's late, I'm old, it's raining. :behindsofa:

Read it in detail, when you are fresh...
Where possible use 10spd (2.35mm) spacers or a little narrower if possible ie. you can use thin BB spacers.
I had a number of thinner spacers lying around for some reason...but as I stated in my thread I've found the shifting to mixed cogs with Shimano Dynasys XT chain and derailluer to be very tolerant.

Just stick with the chain guide Moorey. Until you get a clutch mech.

Planning clutched mech on all my 1x9's as I wear out the current 9x SRAM mechs.

You doing the Sram/Shimanno+6mm spacer mod? Or some other way?
