Hi there. Saw your thread from last year regarding converting SRAM 3x10 to 2x10. Well I'm on the same boat right now and was wondering if I understand your findings correctly. I've already bought my crankset (SRAM X5 44/33/22) and front derailleur (SRAM X7 2x10). I'm replacing the big ring with a bash guard. Got the crankset cheap and had an old bashguard lying around and I'm putting all this on an older bike so I really didn't want to spend too much on the project. So from what I understand, I would need to get a 3x10 shifter and run the big and middle shift points, is this correct? Thanks for any advice!
