Yeah, I figured that a 1x10 wouldn't be as bad as cross chaining a double, let alone a triple. I'm fine with the 1st and last cassette sprocket being virtually useless...that still gives me 8 gears to safely work with. My only concern was getting the proper chainline and figuring out what type of chainguard I need on the front (although the double chainguard version of the Alfine crankset should take care of this).
