If you need a larger gear range for steep climbs and descents then a 1X conversion is not the way to go as it almost inevitably reduces gear range in comparison to a 2X or 3X setup. And even if you manage to match the gear range, you will certainly have larger gaps between gears. My 1X conversion hybrid is for casual riding around the neighborhood with my son and visiting nearby restaurants and coffee shops. I have a 2X road bike for my regular cycling.
