so u disagree that the chain's extreme angles of 1x or cross chaining is extreme and causes unnecessary wear on the chain?
I have 1x on 3 out the 4 bikes I own...2 mountain bikes and one fat bike. I don't have any chain line problems, any cross chaining or any unenecessary wear. It's a matter of setting it up correctly with the bottom bracket or chain ring spacers or...the bike is already designed for 1x from the factory.

Too many gear overlaps to justify 2x or 3x anymore these days other than on road bikes.
