Reminds me of the 90s when I thought it was ok to run a 1x8 without a guide and a 32t ring up front.

jaacck (Jul 10, 2013 at 10:48)

I really want to do this!! Any chance it'd work with a 9 speed shimano cassette?

whattheheel (Jul 10, 2013 at 10:48)

Prolly not, 10 speed only methinks.

jaacck (Jul 10, 2013 at 10:59)

due to cassette spacing? or the large jump between teeth?

whattheheel (Jul 10, 2013 at 11:44)

Not bad at all, it is cobbled at the am because of the 9 speed cogs on the bottom.

hows the chainline looking? got a potoato?

whattheheel (Jul 10, 2013 at 10:45)

Dialed, regular 10 speed setup. Added another link to be safe but shifts like a champ. Longer b screw and away we go!

cool

Smart boy. Looking very much forward to hear how it works.
If it works well, it would be a great excuse to make something similar.

So far so well, just need my 10 speed cogs.

Mr-Magura (Jul 10, 2013 at 14:26)

Don't you have a 10 speed cassette you can cannibalize ?
Anything below XT / PG1090 will do.

Magura

Mr-Magura (Jul 10, 2013 at 14:28)

Or even easier. Use your 9 speed cogs, and just throw in some 10 speed spacers.

Check out shimano capreo cassette. Connects way different than a standard cassette.

Mr-Magura (Jul 10, 2013 at 14:31)

Ahh, I didn't think of that.

how does that shift? seems like not so well with such a big jump

whattheheel (Jul 10, 2013 at 11:44)

Not bad at all but the bottom 4 are wank at the moment.

Hermit185 (Aug 29, 2013 at 10:56)

what do i need to do this? what hub, cassette, etc. I WANT ONE

whattheheel (Aug 29, 2013 at 16:09)

Canfield micro drive hub, general lee adapter, a capreo 10 spd ring. Setup from canfiels and 3 cogs from a standard 10 spd cassette in the middle. Mid cage clutch drlr and n/w ring and you done...

Hermit185 (Aug 29, 2013 at 18:51)

thanks man. probably still much cheaper than x01

Hermit185 (Sep 7, 2013 at 7:11)

wait a minute, how much did you pay for all this shit? what was the total costs of getting the 9-42?

whattheheel (Sep 7, 2013 at 7:36)

Hub and capreo cassette was $200 and $289 for general lee adapter. $150 for drlr and the $80 for the 10 speed rinds.

*rings*

lumberjerk (Jul 10, 2013 at 10:50)

woot!

chuk2rs (Jul 10, 2013 at 12:04)

Does Shimano, or anyone make a 10 speed cassette for that hub?

whattheheel (Jul 10, 2013 at 13:54)

????. My 10 speed cogs are on the way and the top 5 are 10 speed. What are you asking?

chuk2rs (Jul 10, 2013 at 14:55)

What is the make and model of the 10speed cassette that those cogs ate from?

whattheheel (Jul 10, 2013 at 15:05)

Shimano Capreo.
