Sir ganda ng bike mo at sana makabili din ako ng 12s na upgrade kit. Btw, pwedi din po kahit wag nyo na ilagay or isama yung middle plastic sa pagitan ng BB. Or talagang gusto nyo ilagay? Mas okay kasi na wala na yun.

[@wahmadikmal]

Hello, i want to ask a question regarding your video. So I have a very basic mtb that comes with 3x7 drive. The question is can I upgrade it to 1x12 drive? Or what aspects do i need to look on? Do I need to chage my wheels? How do i know if the 12 speed cassette will fit between the frame and the wheel? Thank you.

[@amcyclesmtb]

Hi sir, - 7 speed drive is not compatible for 12 speed, because the freehub body of 7 speed is shorter.. - Shimano HG ( type) start at 8, 9, 10 & 11( Speed) drive are compatible for 12 speed with specific cassette brands (as mentioned in the discription/videos) - your rear Axle should be at least 135mm.

Hi there. A quick maybe a dumb question? How did you know the measurements of the bb to replace it with that hollow-tech style? I believe I know the answer. ( BCD measure) But how do you measure it?

[@amcyclesmtb]

hi thanks, i have checked my bike BB specs/size is bsa 73mm bottom bracket pretty much compatible for most BB out there, to measure it get a Caliper or any ruler will do.. BB shell width 68mm road bike, 73mm mountain bike, 83mm downhill, 100/120mm fat bike.

I have Cube Aim 2021, planning to put Deore M6100 1x12 on it if it fits. Rear hub is Alloy Light, QR, 6-Bolt. Will it fit? What do you think or do I need to change everything back there :D

[@amcyclesmtb]

Shimano Deore m6100 is using Microspline drivetrain 12 speed, Im not sure what cube aim 2021 is using for drivetrain, you have to check few thing such freehub body of your wheelset, your rear derailleur, shifter and chain must be 12 speed compatible. thanks

[@matrickscfw]

Hi i am new to biking and i am not that smart about bikes so this might be a dumb question but i have a shimano 24 speed 3x8 will i have any problems installing a new 1x12 will i need to replace or buy something extra please let me know thanks!

[@amcyclesmtb]

Yes sir possible, I assuming your 3x8 is using Standard Shimano HG free hub body (like mine in that video) Things that you need to change as follow: 1. Group Set - 12 speed cassette (compatible to HG free hub body 8-10 speed), Rear Derailleur, Shifter & Chainlink 2. Crank Set - 12 speed chainring min 32T with narrow wide teeth & Crank Arm 3. DUB/GXP Bottom Bracket ( BB to be replaced, I assuming your 3x8 is using the old and heavy Square Taper BB) hope this will help you.

[@gt-rgaming9452]

Saludos, me gustó mucho tu video y el trabajo que hiciste, yo tengo una Giant Talon 2021 9 atrás, la puedo hacer 12? Y que nesesito aparte el group? gracias.

[@LucaCastiglioni]

Did you check your chainline in order to choose the correct cranckset (standard, boost or super boost)?

[@amcyclesmtb]

Yes, this non-boost, but the non-boost frame does not support boost sizes, so I had to use the standard sizes. However, I did use a crank with a 3mm offset.

[@hilarroyo9344]

Question: My bike currently has a Sram x3 (8 speed) installed on it. I was planning to upgrade to an NX 12 speed. Did you change the hub for this conversion? I may have missed that part of the video. Many thanks! Nice back ground music by the way.

[@amcyclesmtb]

thanks, I did not change my HUB, if you're using 8 Speed Shimano freehub body like mine, yes the 12 speed NX eagle cassette (PG1230) 11-50T are 100% compatible, I have missed to press the record that time I was intalling the cassette, anyway i have made separate video for that, you can watch at the link below kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3PHh2CtpKyooLM

Great video!! I am wanting to also do the same to my rockhopper 29er, it's a older 2008 3x8 gearset and was curious if this upgrade would work on mine?? What year is your rockhopper?? Again very good video.

[@amcyclesmtb]

Thanks bro, mine is the older version too, yes as long as your drivetrain using 8 - 10 speed HG type you can convert to 11/12 speed using specific cassette type like SRAM NX/SX, sunrace MZ90 and other brands for HG type.

hi thanks, if your cassette hub is a standard Shimano HG (8,9,10, & 11 speed) like mine (not micro-spline or not XD ) YES, IT'S fit for 12- speed cassette 11t-50t, but only for specific cassette type such as SRAM NX, SX (PG1230) & other (Sunrace mz90), You can watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3PHh2CtpKyooLM (sorry for the language just jump to 1:25 )

Question-Did you replace the whole crank with chainring to convert from 8S to 12S. I want to do so but still confused what are the replacements i have to make??? please help.

[@amcyclesmtb]

I have changed the whole crank set, from 3x8 chainring to 1x 12 set up. Check your 12 speed cassette/cog profile if narrow-wide or non-narrow wide, it should be the same profile with the Chainring, Same as your chain. 8s -12s, other things that are required to replace: 1. Shifters for 12 speed 2. Chain for 12 speed (narrrowwide/non-narrowwide?)

[@vasilisaggeloudis1099]

Hopefully im gonna get a quick reply. I found an slx 12 speed drivetrain and i want to replace my 3×8 with the 1×12. I know i have to get the microspline freehub but will it fit on the hub that i have now? 137mm distance between the frame

[@amcyclesmtb]

Yes buddy, if your using 3x8 hub 137mm just make sure that your micro-spline freehub body is Non-boost. Thanks

[@enriquerios3227]

But what a waste you would have stayed with your 3x8 Unfortunately when changing to 1x12 you will lose maximum speed because you do not have a big chainring, the 3x10 transmissions are much better than the 1x12 because with the 3x10 you can go up very difficult climbs with the small chainring, you can go almost any terrain with the medium chainring and you can go at very high speed with the big chainring on a downhill and the 1x12 since it has a much slim chain it suffers much faster wear

Why there are no 3 * 12 group set😂😵‍💫🤔🤔🤔

[@TheC238]

How durable is the sram nx are you pleased with this setup or a shimano slx 12 speed would be better?

[@amcyclesmtb]

NX is roughly equivalent to SLX / Deore. I say roughly, cos I feel it's better quality than Deore, but not quite as good as SLX. XT is, again, roughly equivalent to GX in terms of cost and quality. The SLX drivetrain is slightly lighter than the NX Eagle, but heavier than the GX Eagle. So, of course this would position the SLX as a more attractive option than NX Eagle since it is slightly lighter.

thanks master, if you upgrade 3x7 to any speed required adjustment, may 3 bolt/ limit screws na maliit need to adjust, need mo din adjust yun tension ng 8speed RD and 8s Shifter, sometimes need mo remove muna yun tension cable and adjust manually yun 8S RD sa smallest cog then adjust the biggest cog by turning the 3 limit screws at back of the 8s RD habang iniikot mo crank/wheels make sure na yun smallest cog ay pantay sa upper pulley ng RD same then sa last cog. (left limit screw for moving left to right or vice versa para itapat sa smallest cog, right limit screw para sa biggest cog, yun isa na limit screw naka hiwalay for up down for clearance between RD pulley and cog.
