Im on a current Meta 5 bike build job. I incorrectly thought the SLX 10 speed was avaliable as a 2x10. Does anyone know if this set up i.e. a double and bash like this http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=28019 will work with a 10 speed SLX dynasys cassette. Any advice much appreciated.

WMB just conducted tests of a lot of chainsets, and found no difference using Dynasis chainsets or standard '9' speed ones.0

As SS says, don't see why it won't work.
It could end up cheaper getting a triple and a bash, and then selling the big ring.And now you know, and knowing is half the battle

CRC only doing a 22/36. I,ve been told there is a 24/40 which I guess would be more balanced with the 10 speed for general trail riding?. Can't seem to find one.0

Correction. Only a 22/36 in the SLX double, as opposed to triple which gives 22/320

sorry to highjack this thread, but are you guys effectively saying you can use a 9 speed crankset for a 10 speed set up?
I thought the 10 speed chains were narrower and therefore wouldn't work on a 9 speed crank? I could see how it could work the other way round (ie 9 pseed chain on a 10 speed crank) but would 9 speed chain rings not be too 'wide' for the chain to seat properly?0 -
