Hello everyone,
I'm new to the mountain bike world and have fallen in love with trail/downhill riding really quickly. Apologies if a thread like this has already been created but unfortunately i'm not very good at navigating forums. Anyway with that being said, I recently purchased a 2017 Diamondback Atroz comp with a 1x11 drivetrain. I've taken it out on about 3 rides with some fairly steep climbs (in my opinion lol) and am experiencing derailing problems. When on a steep climb in my lowest gear my chain keeps slipping off and returning to the gear. Its extremely annoying and i've tried to adjust my de railer as well as had a certified bike mechanic at a shop try adjusting it as well and am still experiencing this. I just wanted to know if anyone else with a 1x is experiencing the same problem and whether or not any of you has found a solution to this? The idea of converting my bike to a 2x has crossed my mind but the little research i've done in regards to this idea has revealed that may be an expensive solution.
