would this be an ideal part for doing a 1x10 conversion on my Trek 4300 disc that is 3x8. Besidesthe cassette do I have to change both shifters up fro

Sadly you have to change at least the rear shifter. Some might say you can get away within but it will always shift oddly. Matching shifters is best. That's the way they get us to keep spending money :-)

However I was going from a 3 x 10. Like there other guys said your probably need a new shifter. New crankset and rear wheel too.

Make sure that the capacity of this derailleur meets your requirements for the big cog. Other than that, new shifter (only need one since you're eliminating the front derailleur), new cassette (if you're on a 3x8 there is a chance you have a free wheel vs a free hub in which case you may need a new rear wheel. If your crank isn't serviceable (I.e. Riveted chainring vs. bolted, you will need a new crank and possibly a new bottom bracket if the chain line is changing. Usually a good idea to run a chain guide on the 1x also, even though this derailleur pulls tight and doesn't bounce much at all (maybe replace defunct chainring with guide?). Sounds like a fun project, enjoy! Make sure that the capacity of this derailleur meets your requirements for the big cog.

If you're going to change from a 3X8 to a 1X10, yes new cassette, new shifters and probably a new crankset or chainring.

I actually just did a 1x10 conversion with 32 tooth up front and a 42 tooth in back. Still works flawlessly. Definitely start with a new chain though,narrow wide chain ring up front and One Up extended cog in back with the special mad 16 tooth cog that replaces your 15 and 17 tooth cog.

As a direct replacement its unlikely you could get it to shift properly the 10 speed dyna sys derailleurs are only designed for use with 10 speed shifters. In my case (9speed) this required a new 10 speed cassette,chain and shifter. 8 speed should be the same unless you have an older thread on style rear hub. To me the clutch on the derailleur makes it worth it and you could lower the cost by using slx instead of xt on some/all of the components.

You`ll probably need a adapter. The size of the knobs screw in is quite large compared to your average gear shifter size. I purchased a adapter kit that came with all sizes to be on the safe side

yes, assuming you have 7 speed rear deraillure shifter and chain. The width of the cassette is usually the same, it's the width of the gears plus spacing between the gears that are different.

The 1/2 x 1/8 chain fits single speed bikes such as beech cruisers and vintage single speeds. The 1/2 x 3/32 chain fits themultispeed bikes such as your 10 speed. It is good chain and should work. You may have to adjust the length of the chain by removing some links.

I threw this very same Sunlite 103mm BB on an old Trek for the purpose of converting to single speed. Now depending on your frame..You may need a somewhat longer Spindle or BB.Or it could possibly be a Front derailleur adjustment issue.Good luck! Eddie

I had an ultegra 11-28 and replaced it with a 12-30 from Amazon to get a slightly lower climbing gear here in the mountains. The chain fit; only some minimal rear derailleur adjustments were needed. I have been riding that cassette for about 1000 miles now with no problems. Shifting is fine. LBS did the installation and adjustment for $6.

Yes. Those are the ones on my bike. But your derailers might have a different ratio and that could cause incosistancies when shifting.

I couldn't say for sure, but this is made for mountain cassettes with wide ranges, with not so small differences between gears. I would say get a road derailur made for the small steps between gears. Cant say for sure though.

As long as they are both 8 speed. So if you have a 8 speed cassette and and 8 speed derailuer than a sram 8 speed shifter will work.

First, it's a 12-30 not 11-30 and I have used this cassette with both a 105, RD 5700 short cage and an Ultegra RD 6700 short cage derailleur. That said, it is not compatible according to Shimano. I have read a great deal about longer B tension screws, frame geometry and hanger length but have done nothing beyond fitting the cassette and cranking the B tension to get about 1/4" (6mm) clearance between the jockey roller and cogs. If you're switching from an 11-28 the chain will probably be long enough but if you current biggest cog is 25 or smaller you will probably need a new chain. Personally, I have had trouble installing the Shimano connecting pins but have had no problem using the KMC quick links with Shimano chains.

The 3x9 means these shifters are for bikes that have the 3 cogs or speeds in the front dérailleur and 9 cogs or speeds in the rear dérailleur

You have to install a rear gear cassette with the number of gears you wish to have. I installed an 8-gear cassette(Shimano) on my Trek. I think I read that these wheels accept up to 9 gear cassette with an adapter but I don't remember reading anything about a 10-gear cassette. I would call the company and ask.

Yes. It will work fine. The front deraillure is no problem. You can run whatever front deraillure you want. For example, on my sons bike we have x4 shifters with a shimano slx front deraillure and a SRAM x5 rear deraillure. Their X... lineup components are all interchangeable. You just need to make sure you run SRAM shifters with SRAM rear deraillures. The front deraillure can be whatever you want. Even their road and mountain bike stuff works together. My bike is s mix of SRAM mountain bike (x9) and road bike (rival) components and I have no issues.

Better model SRAM grip shifters like X-0 and XX definitely should be used with the thinner 1.1mm cables whenever possible! (Yes, SRAM do make 1.1mm shift cables). However, for cheaper shifters it matters less, and for the grip shifters on kids bikes it makes no difference at all. Shimano shift cables are all 1.2mm

If you have Tourney shifters with a 7 speeds rear derailer and 3 speed front derailer you should be fine. The most difficult part is fine tuning the cable length nuts to get the shifters just right.

This is a 10 speed derailleur and will only work with that kind of setup. In order to use it you will have to update your shifters, cassette and even your front derailleur.
