Shimano Deore M6100 Chainring Replacement

[@stephenpuchniak7524]

Thanks for the video - went from a 30t to 34t chain ring for speed 👍

[@1979paranoidandroid]

Thanks a lot. That really helped me to install my new crankset. It's SLX 7100 but the procedure is the same. Cheers.

[@MountainBikePete]

Thanks mate. I’ve just got these cranks and you really helped me out. Nice tutorial. 👍

[@Themilkmanskid.]

Was hoping my Park Tool BBT-9 would work for this lockring, but it appears to be inset too far. Oh well, off to buy yet another tool. Thanks for showing how to replace the chainring!

[@victormaningas615]

Can i replace my 32t direct mount m6100 chainring w/ 36t m9100 xt chainring? My crank arm is deore m6100.

[@alberttolopezz8914]

hi, very useful the video. i have a question, i can use this m6100 crankset in a v11 group?

[@ΔημήτριοςΑντωνακόπουλος]

Hello sir I would like to ask if you can install this crankset to any bottom bracket

[@Moto_Rid3r]

Nice video i was wondering if I can use this with my XT M8000 11speed drivetrain. The M8000 crankset for 166 or 170 is hard to get this time.. so I am looking for a another solution..

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes the M6100 crankset will work fine with the 11 speed chain!

[@Moto_Rid3r]

@@FreeToCycle Would the M6130 will work too.. According to the website, this is only for 12 speed.. I am really confused

[@FreeToCycle]

The 12 speed front crankset will work fine with your 11 speed chain!

[@mattjns]

@@Moto_Rid3r I use this exact 12 speed Deore crankset and ring on my 1x11 Shimano GRX set. No problem at all. The 12sp chain is marginally thinner than the 11sp chain. It works fine.

[@jmoney2724]

No mention of spacers- My crankset came with two spacers. In what scenario would you use them?

[@jmoney2724]

@@FreeToCycle Right, thanks for responding but I'm not concerned with the spacers for the bb (I know that I use just one spacer on drive side only for my 73mm bb with Boost spacing), I'm referencing the spacers for the chainring when mounting to the crankset. My XT crankset came with two of them. Researching elsewhere seems to indicate that you put one after installing the lockring and the other on the non-drive side, each with the lip side of the spacer facing in towards the bb if that helps anybody. Worth noting that you may in fact have said spacer sitting on top of your lockring as you are about to remove the lockring with the spacer seated on top of it. (I really can't tell for sure in your video).

[@tdub25]

thank you for the video. just put on a new ab oval ring, the stock m6100 chainring was/is shockingly heavy.

[@dsd62983]

I'd like to do the same as well. Which one did you get?

[@glennoc8585]

I've heard the deore cranks are lighter now than the last series. My old 4 arm deore were pretty heavy.

[@oelsabaca9308]

Hey mate can slx chainring fits to this deore crank?

[@stevebennett3587]

👍🤔could i ask what the chainring torque is please?

[@Mrtom40]

would this crank set fit a sm bb52 bottom bracket

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes!

[@anan_stha]

Can i replace slx chainring on deore cranks?

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes!

[@mitchhermans9741]

Will a slx crankset still fit a deore chain ring??

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes!

[@jonvincentpinol5215]

Hi, is 36t chainring from Deore XT (M8100) compatible to that crank?

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes!

[@francescodaniotti4238]

that tool you used to undo the chainring has the same profile as the bb tool? was wandering if i need another tool or if i'm ok ith my bb wrench

[@FreeToCycle]

You will need the correct tool.

[@davidrode1]

I have a 2021 Trek xcaliber 9 with a very similar crank. Is there an offset to this chainring? If I wanted to switch out foe a race face or other brand what should I look for in order to make certain it’s compatible? I have a30Tand would like to increase to a 32 if not a 34T Thanks in advance. Cheers!

[@VerthNeel]

you need a crankset that's made for boost dropout spacing. 52 mm chainline.

[@rommelroyo9742]

can i use m6100 crankset on 8 speed?

[@jryan3012]

How many spacers you put

[@charles3793]

From 1x. Can i change it with 2x?

[@chadanthonyabellanosa2965]

Can i put the m6100 crankset on a 11 speed drivetrain? Mine is m5120 set up.

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes!

[@mattjns]

I did. ✅

[@apetblowon5948]

hi..can i use deckas 36t on this?

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes!
