Aiee. I knew I shouldn't have peeked in, instead just kept on walking.

it may not be in line with your exact purposes, but hopefully might be of some value.
this is one of two videos for making a mid-high end 1x road drivetrain, utilizing the 11/36.

this one covers componentry and chainkeepers.
the other, which is easily found, covers easily made modifications to alleviate the problem areas fietsbob has mentioned.

by no means are you, nor should you be, saddled with two useless gears.

am no authority here, and would never pretend to be. There are many more options than what I've detailed.
but you can be assured that the suggestions made here are accurate, and they work beautifully. They've been tested in every imaginable condition. Maybe not for everyone, but a 1x10 is a good thing. I'm using it to compete in a 208 mile 16000ft climb race this summer.

ok im outta here. Good luck bro.
