Thinking of running 1x10 with a one up component 42t cog as I feel the hope 40 is just not enoughth
Got one on order with the rear mech plate as week any one had isdues fitting one !!
Cheers

I have an issue if I backpedal when in the big sprocket the chain dropped down 2 cogs, goes back up when you pedal forward (Not a problem really). Mine is the Hope and I think its a design problem so the One Up will probably be okay. You will probably need a medium mech and an XT cassette to allow you to remove the 15t and 17t to fit the 16t. I didn't like the look of the chain line when in the big sprocket so fitted 2mm spacers on the front chain ring. Remember to fit a longer chain or add some links as I did. Alter the B screw, re-index the gears and away you go. Although mine is only the 40t I found it a big difference.

Fitting the 42t cog is a doddle, personally didn't bother with the mech plate. As long as you've got the cassette removal tool you'll do it no probs.  What cassette you running tooth wise ? |

Xt 11/36
It was 26 quid from crc
It was a bargain
Race face me 32t up front so don't need chain guide

Spot on!
Ditch the 15 or 17. Ive fitted a couple now and have got rid of the 15t on each occasion. Reset your b screw and away you go.

It comes with a 16 t cog as well now
I've got one up set up on my hardtail as well
It save weight space and makes it easy to shift

I used my 42t One Up considerably in the peaks, last weekend... Life saver!

Any links for the one up 42t cog lads? I died badly on a few climbs yesterday - need help I'm afraid, the old legs ain't what they were.

If your looking into the 1x10 you could also change your front ringgit for a 30t front, 11-36 back?... You'll obviously loose top speed. I was fortunate to get hold of my One-up from EBay..

Cheers mate - was thinking of the expander but keeping the 2x10 tbh - would a 30t up front give the same range as a 42t expander? climbing wise - I accept I'll lose top end speed with a 1x10

Bloody hell mate! you are a star! Just got a brand new oneup 42t in black with the 16t cog for £30 delivered off that link you gave me - brilliant bargain - last one too, being a tart I couldn't have lived with the green  . I owe you a pint when we meet for the forum ride. Hills ere I come! |

So - I take it I'll need a new chain or maybe add links to the current one? current one only been on a month so would be a shame to bin it.

I added links - you'll need an XT mech

I had to buy an 11-36 XT cassette, so I could take out a sprocket, to make room for the expander. My XTR medium cage rear mech was fine, just had to wind the b screw all the way in.. I believe on the main site I linked you, it explains what you need, and set up too |

Try not to have to rely on the expander though, see it as a last resort... I try not to use it, (mainly because I don't wanna mark the beautiful green)  unless I have too! Climbing hills is all about leg power as Will the Hill knows... |

Oh deffo, it won't be used at Cannock but if it enables me to negotiate climbs like the Degla ones or allows me to ride for longer at the Peaks, that's the whole idea.
I actually hate the thought that I need one. ..10 years ago an all that but unlike Will I am feeling my age recently and some climbs are killing me.
I hate climbing anyway and would rather save my energy for the fun bits.
Cheers again.

I put a new 116 link chain on mine with a 34t up front, cycles through all the gears ok with the b-screw fully in, not managed to get it out on the trails yet but up the road was fine. |
