Thanks. Yeh think I’m gona go for it. I have managed to pick up this. Any good?  Paid £90 for it.

Fantastic 10 speed groupset in near-perfect condition, customised with aftermarket parts from Garbaruk for an ultralight wide-range drivetrain. The following are included:

– SRAM X0 type 2 derailleur, with aftermarket Garbaruk cage. This offsets the top pulley and allows fitment of wide range cassettes, whilst also enabling the top jockey wheel to track the cassette much more closely. It basically gives you the simplicity and easy setup of 10 speed with a complete wide range cassette solution. I can include the original carbon derailleur cage (medium) too on request. There are some light scratches to the aluminium parts of the derailleur but overall excellent cosmetics and perfect working order.

– SRAM X0 shifter, stock setup. Fully adjustable in all the usual ways. Almost immaculate, just slight cable rub from brake lines.

– Garbaruk / XT Conversion cassette, 11-42. This is a combination of Garbaruk’s three aluminium cogs on a carrier, with the remainder of an XT cassette. Check out their website for more detail – it’s a lovely bit of machining and gives a nice smooth spread of gears, much better than a step-up cog. There’s very little wear to the aluminium part of the cassette, just the usual cosmetic rub from shifting. The whole cassette weighs in at just 270g. That’s 100g less than SRAM’s current generation eagle…

 

Its fairly flat round here. Will be taking it to the bike parks but not that often .

– SRAM PC1051 chain, in great, clean condition.

Food for thought!. Thanks for all the info! 🙂

I just want to simplify the system. The Altus mech that’s on it has quite a lot of play. I’ve now seen a 11-42t 9 speed cassette Microshift £17.99. A Microshift Advent 9 speed derailleur with clutch £34.99. I already have a raceface 32t Narrow wide ring. So I’m thinking of a 1×9 now as the cost would only be £50. What you think?

Thanks. Would a 1×11 or 1×12 fit on the hub?
