Yup running running one here, has been flawless.Has anyone bought a RaceFace 30t NW ring? This makes the most sense to me as I can already make it around most things with my 32x36 combo and mainly use the upper range of gears rather than the smaller ones.
Cheers. Might just have to bite the bullet and spend the extra. Although I reckon I might go 32 with the 40 tooth cassette ring. Do I need to get a new chain though? I have a Dura Ace one just laying around I could use/Yup running running one here, has been flawless.
I combo'd it with a 42t oneup cog on the back, can ride up anything now. I still found 30x36 blew the legs up on long and steep climbs.
I've just ditched the big ring on my Deore 3x and use the 32t on it 99% of the time but I have the 24t as a bail out, which I haven't had to use in anger yet. I would love to piss my FD and shifter off though seeing as I rarely use it. Maybe a Works 32t ring and then get the 40t One Up when/if I need it.I reckon keep the 32 you have now and go the 42 rear. It will give you good cruising speed and a gear for the flats but still climb well with a bail out for when your legs go.
I'm looking at a 42 oneup and only considered a 30 or 28 front as I'm planning on hooking up a trailer
I've been running one for 6 months, no probs. On a 29ers hardtail I find the gear range perfect aside from flat sealed roads but I can put up with that for the rare occasion I want to pedal (not downhill) faster than 35km/h.Has anyone bought a RaceFace 30t NW ring?

http://sheldonbrown.com/gears/For the people in the know, what gives the best ratio. A 30t up front and a 40t rear or a 32t front with the 42t rear. I have an XT clutch RD long cage, deore cranks on a Trek Fuel 8 riding lots of local XC track and steep fire road that I can climb using my 32/36 at the moment.
No, you still need to use the Shimano inner plate.Would you be able to use this to turn a long cage derailleur into a medium cage??
Ha Ha(not), I got bit in the arse by that too with new XO1 DH cranks. Are they the same BCD or did the big Ss conspire against us again?So does a 96bcd NW ring exist yet? I've just found out my '14 XT cranks (m782) are this new stupid size. Why would Shimano do that?

Oh lame. Dirty.No luck. SRAM use 94bcd, just to fuck things up. You could potentially offset hone a mm from each hole but I wouldn't be happy with that. New crank may be only option. Bastards.

So, you can just buy the Shimano inner plate as well, and convert it.No, you still need to use the Shimano inner plate.
Techdocs say it doesn't. No idea why they went 94bcd...Oh lame. Dirty.
Does the Shitmano spider come off like Scams? Different bolt pattern probably if it does.
Yeah, i was answering the guy who was asking if you could just use that to convert it. Didnt know you could get the inner cage separately as well.So, you can just buy the Shimano inner plate as well, and convert it.
Inner plate part ID for a RD-M786, in a medium cage, is Y5Y198080. Uses all the same bolts are the long cage.
