Why not consider an internal hub?
One of my bikes is a Nexus 8 IGH. Needless to say I have no issues with it throwing the chain. Overall range of 305% is comparable to a 1 x 9. That being said, I prefer the 3 x 9 105/LX setup on my Trek 520. On most rides I wind up using all 3 chainrings. I might not ever convert a 2x9 into a 1x9. If I could just yank off the front der. and hit the road I would do it. Unfortunately it seems like I need to add 2-3 special parts to compensate for the missing F.D. That's not my idea of simplification...I might make sense on a new build or rebuild. EDIT: Metricoclock seems to have pulled it off without any special gadgets. |

What's it like to clean with the Crossing Guards installed?

Not Easy, I remove the outer guard. With that removed its just like any chainring.

Timely thread for me. I'm getting ready to (re)build my Redline as a 1x8. Nice to hear again that so many people like the 1x setup.
I'm going to start with a 50t ring and an 11-30 cassette and see how that works around here... |
I run a 1x9 on my Xtracycle. Works great except for the most extreme hills. But as Sawtooth said, Boise is relatively flat. I am planning 80 mile rail to trail trip this spring and may add the lower ring in case of hills.
The front chainring is a 38t. I now have a bashguard on the outside and run the chainring in the middle position. http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o...909081955a.jpg |
