I have a Schlumpf HSD so, only one chainring.. that leads to the question: will the medium cage be enough for a 10 speed (12-36 sprockets) cassete ?

I remember trying a medium with a 9 speed and 3 rings and it would not work but I would think with only one chain ring assuming its not the typical larger ring you would find on a 10 speed 3 ring system it could work.

I have a single 30T ring up front and a 10 speed 11T-36T cassette and the short cage works good for me.

Depends on the size of the front chain ring. You can run medium with 10 speed with 32 for sure, meybe even 34/36 front. To be absolutely sure google how to size rear derailleur cage and you find the formula for each cage size-one of the MTB forums had it.

The left is friction so it will do 2 or 3 chainrings on crank - versatile.Right is 7 spds, but I've used it w/ an 8 spd, you just miss a cog at top or bottom.Fyi: 6,7 & 8 speed use same basic chain & gear spacing, so interchangeability is nice.

It would not, per the specifications. You would need a rear derailleur with a capacity of at least 40 for what you seek. The RD-6700 GS has a capacity of 39T, might have to use an MTB RD to get what you are looking for.The Shimano RD-5600 GS (long cage) has a capacity of 37T. Your current combination of compact chain-rings (50-34= 16) plus PG 1070 (32-11= 21) is up to the RD-5600 GS's capacity (16+21= 37).You can try it, but it would be much beyond the design specifications.

I currently have this on my 8-speed bike with no problems. I purchased this along with an 8-speed chain and an 8-speed cassette (chain and cassette were made by SRAM). I'm very satisfied with it.

The hole in the rear sprocket that comes with the kit is intended for a 7-speed/derailleur type bike with hand brakes. My current project bike is a single speed coaster brake bike. If you are doing a coaster you will need to enlarge the center hole to clear the coaster brake hub, or purchase a sprocket with the hole enlarged (which is what I did). I'm also adding hand brakes to my bike so it will still have brakes in the event of chain failure or popping off while motoring. Good luck with your build.

Yes. A 7-speed & 8-speed have the exact same amount of spacing between sprockets. The only thing is that one of the gears on your shifter won't be used for anything. If it were the other way around, then you would not be able to shift to one of your eight gears with a 7 speed shifter.

I'm using my 12-30 with an Ultegra short cage, and it works just fine, this despite the fact that when I originally set it up the opinions expressed at the time said it would not work. I believe even Shimano had a company opinion that it was not appropriate to run that combo. That said, you are still at the mercy of "try it and see if it works." If it were me, I'd take the chance, but you have to make the final call. As in my previous answers about this set-up, I'd remind you to not give up if it seems it won't work initially. Chain length is critical in being able to keep the idler pulley from contacting the 30 tooth cog, and I think I may have messed with the stop screw as well. I wish you the best of luck!

Yeah the tooth profile will fit both 9 spd and 10 spd. I am running a 1X10 set up with a shimano chain currently on my Trek Remedy

My chain rings are 22,32,42 and I find I can go anywhere I want with my 8-speed 32-12, which is no longer made. You may find it on eBay. By the way, if you have a rear wheel with an 8-speed cassette, you can use a 7-speed cassette with a spacer to replace the spot where first gear usually is. Sometimes the 7-speed cassette will have rivets that stick out but they can be ground flat and work fine. All my bikes have 8-speed hubs, so I can use either 8-speed or 7-speed with the spacer. I don't like 9-speed and up because of the narrower chain.

I've done it before without issues. Use a 9 speed chain to reduce the risk of rubbing between chain rings.

It's installed outside the bike"s frame, like most. So, the gear sprockets should not be any issue. But like any training wheel set,, turning sharp at speed will likely result in a crash. Training wheels are for slow riding, not for the speed of a multi speed bike.

Ya you should be fine. I have an old schwinn I put it on and its only a 5 speed but it also is only 14-28 teeth and there looks to be plenty of room for an extra gear

I use this on an 8 speed chain set up. but I think it is 9 speed. I do not think it will work with a 10. I have mixed and matched parts for years. I think a 10 speed chain will ride between the cogs when you shift and give you a lot of trouble. the FD will also not be the correct geometry as well. Ben their -done that. I would go to the forum at http://www.mtbr.com/ and ask if a 9 speed crank work well with 10 speed chain and FD. good luck getting a 10 speed triple cheap.

It is the size of the bike. The trainer specifies the size of tires like 26 inch. If your older 10 speed is the right size it should be fine.

Sorry, but this question is beyond my limited knowledge. I can tell you that I paired it with a 11-34 cassette, and it is not quite up to the worse case small-small chain ring combination (my chain goes slack, but I never use this). That may be me, with too long a chain? Anyway, next time I would choose a long cage, not this medium cage, just to be sure. Amazon did not or does not offer the long version.

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 the multispeed 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.

you can probably use the same derailer and just adjust it for the different size, as far as the chain sizes and stuff, I know almost enough to be dangerous when it comes to bike building and repairing, The way I figure it though, your current chain should be right about the correct size for the changes you are looking at making. As the other person responded make sure this will work for your hub, if you have a freehub this will work (you also need the tool to take the keeper off of the hub) if you do not, you would need a freewheel cassette. The difference is the free hub has the ratcheting mechanism in the hub and the freewheel has it in the casssette and the cassette is removed from the hub. I didn't realize there was a difference before I bought this and ended up getting a new rear wheel to go with my brand new cassette.
