I’m going to be upgrading my 2×10 drivetrain to a Shimano XT 1×12.
While my current crankset’s Q-Factor is 175mm and the chainline is 48.8mm, the Shimano XT 1×12 has a Q-Factor of 172mm and the chainline is 52mm.
What, if any, affect will this have on my bike? I’m primarily riding slow tech trails.

The best advantages (in my opinion) since you’re riding tech trails would have to be maneuverability. Now you will have a much better lower range to creep through those corners if need be.

Manueuvarability – yes, absolutely. I can certainly see that as an advantage.
Is it possible to update to a 1×12 drivetrain and retain a 49mm chainline?
