Hi all
I’ve converted my 3x9 (22/32/44t, 11-34) XT to a 2x9 by replacing the middle ring with 38t, (dyna sys so probably a 10sp chainring and removing the 44t , but having some shifting issues and dropped chains probably also due to a broken tooth.
However after reading here it seems the 38t was not the right option anyway and the best setup would be a slx 665 36t, would that be correct, which is intended for a 2x9?
-I’ve adjusted the shifter so they don’t shift past the middle chainring
Also
Will the xt fd will work ok or should I definitely change to the slx fd 665 to shift from 22t to 36t
whats the difference between the fd 665 and 670, I know the 660 is a triple so of no benefit
And why do some of you use a bash guard in lieu of the outer ring, seems to me the 2x only is a cleaner setup
thanks
