3X8 TO 1X8 MTB CONVERSION 3X TO 1X

[@sachaquadrelli4674]

Haha, this is great! I had an old 3x7 that I wanted to upgrade but didn't want to spend any money on, then I saw this and....now I have a 1x7! Who knew? Best thing is it didn't cost me anything, because I used parts taken off another MTB I upgraded. I didn't have a spare brake lever, but they're pretty cheap, so I guess I'll get one some day. In the meantime I just took the cable out and I'm using it with the dead shifter on the left. Anyway, thanks for this, keep up the great work!

[@evobe]

somehow the most dramatic and still informative 1x installation I've watched yet

[@jfd8288]

May not seem like it but this is actually a great video to follow for beginners, thanks a ton

[@unclefreddieDied]

agreed

[@Brockthedog315]

This is what I do. Since I use my mountain bike as a fitness tool I select before I go out on my 3x which drivetrain I will use for that ride. I keep the chain on that front one for the entire ride and use all of the rear cassette. Less thinking about going thru all the gears. More time enjoying the ride and grinding away. To each their own and this video was good getting right to the conversion and not messing around. Thanks!

I did the same thing on my Ironhorse warrior 3.1 ( 1x8 … 11 to 40 ) using a 32 teeth chainring . love it .

[@antoniekawa2678]

I also upgrade my 3x9 to 1x9, now it so smooth and easy to pedal, nothing clicks and wipes in my drivetrain. Nice video man, keep it up!

[@christosapostolopoulos8856]

That was a very bad choice my friend and also it depends what 3x9 you had. I have a 3x8 (26-38-48T & 11-40T). This is better than any 1x by far. It is faster and it can climb any steep hill much easier. This is exactly what the gears are for!

[@unclefreddieDied]

@@christosapostolopoulos8856 maybe he has a downhill bike

[@armexico2003]

Im thinking on doing this, and even take out the front shift. I never use it. The back gears are enough. I would lobe to add more gears at the back too. But in the front i only use the big gear.

Hi, I suggest you buy a shimano crank end cap. I have used those cranks and they do not come with them, but they are very important ! I've had these cranks fall out of my bike once, the left cranks just loosen off, a cap like that is only like 4 dollars and will greatly increase the safety aspect of those cranks.

[@oldchannel987]

In February of 2020, Box Components is shipping out the Box Four 8 speed drivetrain. It is available for preorder now for less that $200. The drivetrain will feature an 8 speed 11-42 Cassette (likely not designed by Box as other drivetrains suggest), a very high-quality, 8 speed clutch derraileur specifically designed to work with an 11-42 cassette, and a special Box chain that will accommodate 10-12 speed narrow-wide chainrings that are on most bikes today.

I really like your style, this video is perfect; the music fits well and your timing on some of these clips is spot on, you show pretty much everything without wasting any time. It really feels like this is a big deal:) Do you still use these cranks? I’ve read a lot about them, and the price compared to quality is very attractive, but I don’t know anyone who uses them. Have they held up? Can they take a beating?

[@ssboost1]

I just bought the same crank setup. How has it been for you and how often do you ride. Thanks.

[@voranet]

I ike one chainring because of less calculation and light weight. I think that If you don't need high speed, one chaning is enough. Especially in the case of MTB & Cycro cros.

[@diggingtheburger1326]

But if you add more cogs like 1x10 or 1x11 the weight dont really change

[@diggingtheburger1326]

Light weight? If you switch to 1x your gonna need bigger cogs on rear for high speed and climb... Like 1x12 or 11 ... Light weight on the front and gain weight on the rear

[@uomorana71]

nice job, well done! i've converted my ride from 2x9 to 1x10 and just like it so much did the same with the road bike too ( from 2x10 to 1x10), track bike was 1x1 already

Interesting job, but why? You’re not gaining anything and losing two full ranges of gearing. I know the 1x is all the rage now, but those are usually 3x8 to 1x10 or 11 conversions to simplify and still keep a range of gears. Staying as a x8 you’re not getting anything out of it.

[@MCMTB]

You're not riding hard enough if you're still using a 3x8 set up, One of the reason I upgraded to this set up is to prevent my chainring hitting rocks and logs. Yeah you're not gaining speed at all but you really don't need a 52chainring and a 11 cog in the trail. Think about it,

[@clrlmiller]

Okay I could see extra clearance, but why keep the same x8 cassette? You did the change out from a square taper to an external bearing bracket, so why not move onto an x9, x10 or even x11 rear? If that’s for a later project and vid, I completely understand. It’s nice work and editing and I’m not an MTB guy. Just touring and road, and trying to understand the new gotta have it thing. I wish ya Happy Trails,
