Converting compact double to 1x11

[vickster]

Just a silly question , what are you aiming to achieve with the conversion ?

Something different on my Ti bike which is suitable for a gravel set up, as I‘m moving its SRAM groupset to the Condor as want to get rid of the Shimano Ultegra triple. I’ve got 5 bikes with doubles/triples at the mo and I’d like to try 1x. This is the cheapest way to do it

Let us know Vickster if it’s worth it.

Will do, but.. Knee op in a few weeks and cold weather, might be a while before I ride it (although it is the winter set up)

New funky Supacaz tape too

Very smart bar tape and matching cable Take 10 style points.

have you got some cable run protectors here? otherwise its going to rub that lovely Titanium. Jagwire etc do black rubbery ones that just slip over the cables in question, or you can use patches of clear tape. personally former is neater.

Nope and probably already rubbed as the bike has done 3k miles probs…
It’s also scratched from a crash (but less damaged than I was )
