nicely done video - I don't think most people can appreciate the time it takes to get these shots! I was going to do this myself until you started machining custom spacers and screws!

Glad I’m not the only one who went back to 2x10. The chainline and stretched out rear derailleur on 1x always drove me crazy. I prefer 2x xtr/xo mix for marathon racing and all day rides.

I don't normally like these sorts of videos when the KZfaq creator doesn't verbalize what he or she is doing. But this video is the exception and is very good indeed!

I've gone back to my 2 x 9 system from a 1 x 11 system because of cross chaining and fewer gears. My chain started creaking on the largest cog...thought it to be dirty...only to realize that it creaked because it is cross chaining...putting strain on its individual rivets. Though its only 9 speed..11-34 with a 38-24 front...my drive train is more stress free than my 1x 11-46 set-up.

I like how you show the tools before each step thank you very much for great instruction. Almost robotic with the graphic way you display each component. Very cool

I love this video. Direct & no unnecessary bullsht..sorry for the word man. This is so satisfying

Thank you for the best explaining regarding the conversion from 2x10 to 1x12 on the whole youtube including the tools you need and all :D

Great video, but don't forget than the chain has two sides, one with letters and other without letters. The side with letters must be side out. Sunrise save the life... it's no necessary to change free hub system to micro-spline. :)

nice and concise vid. did the swap on 2x10 2014 stumpjumper, pf30 crank. no need for home made washers and bolts for the chainring, bought fm alixpres for less than $10. used sram nx derailleur/shifter, gx chain and no-name chainring and cassette. total $200, most went to sram components. so far works great.

I like he doesnt talk and the music really tied the room togather

Great video recension Paul, many thanks.. I am new in your great Canal. I have learning too much.. I are one older bike mechanic that to beginning from disc brakes, I stopped fitting bicycles. Practically 10 years later, I would like to assemble the new frame and fork set myself. Your videos have given me a lot of confidence. However, the part where you mount the chain, I saw that you shortened it without having measured the length. Basically the front chain was on the new 30-tooth sprocket. At the back it was on the 11-tooth sprocket. The most absurd thing for me was that on the pantograph of the rear derailleur (Shimano XT part), there is no longer the pantograph adjustment screw, and in addition you only put it under tension with your hands, pulling it a bit and putting it under tension. At one time I remember, you used to pull it with pliers to put it under absolute tension. Greetings from Switzerland. Goodbye (*_*)

This is one of the best videos ever seen so far.

Great video great instruction smooth process. Thank you

You should take derailleur slx and shifter - xt, as xt shifter has double down feature, while slx doesn't have. Maybe you will just change shifter in future

My 2.4 monster Gravel Bike 30t x 11x36t is more than enough. Great montage! 👍🙂

Masterpiece!hello from Bucharest România 🇧🇪

Year 2000: upgrade to more gears, it's just better. Year 2020: upgrade to less gears, it's just better. Year 2040: just give us your money and walk, walking is better.

The only benefit is weight, i did exactly the same change on mine one year ago, and sometimes i miss mi slx/xt 2x10, so simple and so perfect.

That's some serious POV 😳 Excellent I must say

Great video! I'm about to change from 2x10 to 1x10. Greetings from Peru! 🇵🇪🚴🏻‍♂️

i never thought that reducing the available gears and twisting the chain so badly is an upgrade.

Perfect made video-guide. Thanks man.

satisfying to watch...great video...keep it up👍

Why this video is so satisfying 🤩

Totally the best make-over video

I just went back to 2x10 from 32 11-42 1x10. 32-22 front 11-36 rear. The equivalent of a 52t 1x low gear with nice tight ratios.

Paul X I Love the video, 1x12 is the future of MTB, a question for you. There’s is a reason to put the spacer before the cassette?

SHOW DE BOLA ,PARABENS PELA BIKE!!

i like what Paul X did...everytime....everytime dude

nice install process

Thanks for the video, been thinking about doing this conversation all winter!

OMG your MTB bike very cool man.i like it bruh 🙂

Not my business, but it's better to have xt shifter with slx rear derailleur, not opposite. Xt shifter have multiple click to up and down, and slx doesn't, and it's very comfortable. Xt shifter + slx rd work as good as xt + xt. Slx shifter + xt rd work as slx + slx.

Muy buena conversion

Did the same but from a 3x9 and it's AMAZING (on a 26er! 😱 😂 👏 🔝)

Nice video!

You use a tork wrench on the bolts for the chainring but not on the crank arm and no grease on the pedals thread. That's a little weird. But i like how you made your own bolts.

Great video!

hi, what paint did you use to paint the cranks? Thank you!

Call me crazy, but for a budget upgrade, I like prev gen SLX 11sp + new SLX derailleur and Deore m5100 cassette: the range is the same, parts are cheaper, and the Deore 11-51 cassette is lighter than the Sunrace CS-MZ800. You have one less cog in the middle but to be honest, I've ridden the SRAM SX Eagle and this SLX/Deore mix and I don't really miss the extra cog and the shifting is even better than SRAM SX Eagle.

You do work very hard

Nice one .. Good job sir Ride safe

Hi mate, would you mind letting me know what cassette youve used? What model? Is it sunrace?

Good job bro...👍

PERFECT! O.L.D OF MY BIKE IS 135mm, do you recommend in this configuration the same as you did in this UP grade?, and I can't find this cassette, I find the MZ901 THE MZ903, CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING? GRATITUDE

Satisfying!

Is it possible to upgrade 1x12 to 2x12 crankset?

I love the video, but some narration would've been nice too😎

So professional. 🙌🙌

Do you have back pedal issue on the largest cog?

compliments. Nice video. I have a question for you ... I have a Specialized 2X10 and I would like to turn it into a 1X11. Can the largest sprocket set be mounted on any MTB or not? Thank you!!!

I was looking for such a movie 😀

Woooww😍 I wish I have it that too.

Good job man👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Well, for me 32t chainring with a 9 speed 11-42t is enough but hey that's me

Could I use this set up on my boardman comp 650b hardtail? I do alot of long distances riding along the canal ect and a few hills

Sometimes you need more then this. Two months ago my 3x10 deore crankset was death, now i have a 3x10 XT trekking crankset. Normally I wanted to switch to 1x11 or 1x12, but i cant do it with my WH-MT15-A 29" Shimano wheel. I need a other hub with "shimano micro spline". The original hub is not compatibel with 1x11 and 1x12. The hub is a part which you cant simply replace. 😞 If you tighten the two small screws on the left crank too tight, the whole crankset is dead! At Shimano are tightened with ~5NM-6NM, which is very little. These are aluminum threads, they are very sensitive.

Would you sponsor a gear cycle or cycle gear set

Just came out amazing but I'm wondering how much is this upgrade. Not including labor of course just parts.

You do NOT need a chain guard as the rear derailleur has a clutch.

Baka may mga pinagpalitan ka pa idol ng group set mo bilhin ko na hehehe

The best.

LOL shortening you chain like that is the recipe for ripping rear derailleur off or bad shift quality. You need to RTFM 😉 If you a on a limited budget you should have considered choosing the SLX rear derailleur and the XT shifter as you’d get better functionality at the cost of a bit of extra weight. I fully understand that the choice of rear derailleur and shifter you made looks better.

Can u put that collection links on description please ?

What kind of setup are you running for this gopro, I want to do the same thing

The only thing missing is rear wheel hub specs. AFAIK you can’t simply go from 10 speed HG hub to 12 speed without mods?

I've done the same conversion. But Just recently I went back to 2 in the front and ten in the back. In my opinion it keeps the chain more symmetrical or straight when you can switch between the gears. I find that one in the front and more in the back keeps the chain at more of an angle. I just have a better feel when you can keep the chain straight by switching from small to big and vice versa. In my view one in the front is just fad and you can never beat the " old school". But each to their own.

Hi. Very nice video. Could you please share a list with all items you used to modify the drivetrain? Thanks.

Tell me, on the old transmission (slx) how many teeth are there on the big cassette star?

Nice video. Can you confirm your chain line after conversion ? Also your chainring seems to work very well with the shimano chain 12 speed 7100 HG+. Can you share the model number of your chainring? Thanks.

The washers should be 8 mm??

Grate vid 👍🏽👍🏽🇺🇸

With the chain guard does it make any noticeable noise . I know it's a necessity

nice. How’s the 1x12 compared to the 2x10 on climbs? I have the same 2x10 and thinking about switching to 1x12.

A láncot rosszúl raktad fel írással kifelé kell felszerelni a könnyebb váltás miatt(nem poénból vannak a szemek úgy meg munkálva) a szerelési útmutató is azt mutatja!!!!!😉

Nice view. . . Information

Ive always had a front derailleur and now im 1x11 and its terrible. I do a new chain every 400 miles and the gears are never right, im just messing with the bloody thing all the time.

Wo sind die schwarze Handschuhe, die du dich am Anfang des Vedios angezogen hast?

Hi sir, sorry for askin.. whats is ur previous 2x10 cassette biggest tooth?

To be honest it is a nice video. The thing is I cycle off and on road so 1 x 12 will never ever convince me. One does not get fast enough on road or down hill.

💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍👍👍 ciao dall' Italia 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

Hi what about the 12 speed cassette? Is it good? Backpedalling from the biggest cog? 51t? Thanks in advance

Did you use a 12 speed specific chainring for the conversion?

Hi, my mtb bike is 24 rim, Does it fit Shimano 10-51 casette my bike?

I'm amazed nobody's asked the obvious question; Now that you've converted your bike was it worth it? And what are the pros and cons of 1x12 vs 2x10?

Anyone help i want to upgrade to a 36t single chainring from a 34t where the hell does it say on my mtb my max chainring size i can not find it on google how to check what the max teeth i can put on my gt Zaskar comp 2020 thanx

just an info, 11 is the minimum gear fittable in that wheel without changing anything?

I have Shinano XT 770 mega 9 components to cover me for the future .

Hey, you have the standard freewheel right? You didnt have to switch it for the Micro Spline freehub?

why SLX shifter/XT rear mech? seems like you'd get better bang for buck doing xt shifter/slx derailieur

Specialised 8 by 3 can I also c convert to 10 by 3

Hi Paul, at 4.17 is this a washer or a spacer with slots and what is the size?

why do you see 2x to 1x as an upgrade 2x or 1x is a preference

Watching this made me realize how badly I wish there was a media platform that allowed for the talking through of what is happening rather than just having to look at pictures and figure it out. Oh wait, thats what KZfaq is.

the break system was not affected in any way ?

J'ai eu question si on est en 10 vitesse en mono comment on met en 12 vitesse ? Je veut dire il y a besoin de changer beaucoup de chose ?

Is it an Upgrade?! Why?

nooo, why did you put red threadlocker onto the chainring bolts 😩 it's super hard to take off and you'll probably need to heat the bolts to loosen them... use blue threadlocker in the future

Hello , Is Shimano for 2x12s FC610 chainring, compatible with 1x12 cranks , BCD 96mm M7000. I need that info . IT look same.

1x12 Veľké skoky na kazete a malý rozsah prevodov. Časovo dlhé preradovanie pri zmene zjazd na výjazd. Reťaz ide šikmo.
