The QUICK question thread.....

I'm on 11sp and when it comes chains I usually just buy Sram 1130 or KMC X11.

For 12 speed shimano deore/slx go alright?

Asking for a friend.

What other 12sp chains are people using/recommend?

I bought this and it is surprisingly good.

As it is 50% fruit is it unwise to speculate what proportion of the remaining 50% is cock and how much is tail?

Obviously I want to improve my climbing endurance, and I know it's been mentioned before (can't remember where) so am I better off finding longer more gradual climbs rather than extreme grinds?

There is no magic wand... You just need to climb more. Do them all. Consistency is key, not riding for 2-3 weeks makes any fitness drop off rapidly and then you're basically starting again.

Good answer, thanks :)
 
Looking to convert my Chameleon to single speed. I am sure that this have been discussed many times. Could not find the thread. Could someone please point me to it and perhaps recommend their favourite kit for converting? Thanks

Your frame has sliding dropouts? Current wheel is HG splined freehub?
Any kit with a wider base cog and a variety of spacers will do. Surly and maybe wolftooth make wide base cogs.

Thanks. Sliding dropouts and HG hub, yep. I read on another forum to look for thicker cogs not stamped ones. Sound right?

Thicker sprockets are still likely to be stamped, but they will give better chain contact, so will wear better. Traditional single-speed stuff uses a 1/8" (3.2mm) sprocket thickness/chain internal width, plus taller teeth vs the 3/32" (2.38mm) or narrower found on multi-speed systems. However it's worth bearing in mind that N/W chainrings are nearly always made for narrow 3/32" or 11/128" chains, so the wider 1/8" chains will not sit as snugly on the teeth.
