Hi All,

I have an older Scott Metrix 40 that I'd like to do a conversion, 3x8 speed to a 1x10 speed. I'm using the bike on roads and paved trails 95% of the time, and the reason I want to do a conversion is I'm unhappy with the stock components as the shifting is pretty crummy/unstable. I thought I'd simplify by going to a 1x, and I'm looking to upgrade to better components for improved shifting and stability. I realize this means new cranks,derailures, levers etc.

Can anyone point me in the direction of compatible components/groupsets for doing this? I'm happy with my rear wheels (Shimano FH-RM 30 hub) and the bottom bracket is Shimano BB-UN 26.

I don't care about weight, I care mostly about solid dependable shifting. If anyone has done a similar conversion or can make a suggestion it would be greatly appreciated. Additional bike specs at bikeroar metrix-40-solution-2014/specs

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!
