Going 1x10 with no tensioner what are my ring options?

epo-aholic

Righto, going 1x10 with no tensioner and the plan is to go 32t up front and 11-36 out back. I plan to use an XT clutch medium cage mech and one of those narrow-wide rings up front. Raceface seem to be the only option for the ring that i can see but having difficulty finding a black 32t ring, are there any other options for narrow/wide rings out there or can someone direct me to somewhere with stock in the UK please?

Also if anyone has any feedback/experience of this set up please post your thoughts.

thanks in advance

Why does it have to be black - once it's muddy you won't notice anyway.

mmmmm, supposed it doesn't HAVE to be black but my bike is black carbon (stealth looking if you like) i think a green or blue ring would look somewhat out of place......

Thanks for the input anyway :roll:

Wolftooth components, Absolute Black (open for debate as to whether it works...) and Works all do them.

Just o be clear, the XT rear mech IS the tensioner, I think you mean without a chain guide.
