Looking at buying a 314L for the wife.
It comes with an XT chainset 42x32x24.
I'd like to swap to 2x10 with a bash guard and chain guide.
How easy is this?
Can I just replace the outer ring with a bash guard?
Does the bike come with ISCG (cant find this info anywhere!!!)?
Can I keep the 3x10 LH shifter or will it need to be swapped out for a 2x10?
Thanks guys and girls

Easy
Yes
No idea but no reason it needs a chain guide.
Yes, just use the high limit screw to stop it shifting too far.I don't do smileys.

Simple, however you will need either a thin (aluminium) bash or if you use a plastic (such as E13 or Shimano) you'll need the longerr chainring bolts.
No more need for a chain guide (lower I presume) than on the current triple.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -

Why no need for a lower guide?2011 Specialized Enduro Comp

Do point having a bash unless it's bigger than the largest ring! A 36T bash wil be slightly larger than a 36T ring with chain wrapped round it.
Why no need for a lower guide - bacause the chain has nowhere different to go that in your using a triple which doesn't use a lower guide, you may wish to run one if doing more extreme work, but most (like 99%) of people running doubles don't bother.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -

I've got an XT Chainset and recently replaced the outer ring with a Race Face metal bashguard. My chainrings are the same as the ones you are discussing, so I'm left with 24-32 and bash. 32T is OK but I think I should have gone 36T, as I sometimes (not very often, I'm not particularly fast) spin out on the road. However, as I have a 32T ring and bashguard I'd need to change both at the same time, so I'm not bothering for the time being.0
