    after various questions by me about what chainrings and which retention to use have settled on this for now, seems to work without a bash guard (been over rough stuff and had a couple of stacks and chain stayed on)

    Rear cage too long, and chain a bit long – then you wouldn’t need that drop device…

    rear ??cage, presume you mean rear mech one i already have and works perfectly with 12-36T, chain is a link shorter that the 32×11-34 on the Swift and works fine, probably don’t need the N-Stop though, you’re right

    And the dogs chain would wear considerably quicker. Looks fine to me.

    i’ve done the whole 1×9 thing and my experience is that if setup nicely then you dont need any front chain device on the road and gentle terrain but if you are bashing off a lot of stuff like you do in mtb then you need some kind of cage, i used a non ramped ring and medium cage xtr mech with a modified rhollof cage and was perfect, i have a 1×9 mrp now

    Why did you feel the need to censor the name of the cranks?

    Another vote for the mrp device, works great and looks the nuts. Have you forsaken front mechs for ever more? I’m never using one again.

    Looks good, think I’m going back to 1×9 when I eventually get a guide. No need for a granny ring where I generally ride!

    I really like the 1×9 set up on my 29er.

    Does anyone know if a short cage MTB rear mech will take a 12-36 cassette?

    Think most short cage mechs top out at 34, check on CRC as they give the maximum and minimum cassette sizes with the mech info.

    Length of cage not and issue for 36. Length of cage just to do with taking up more slack when having more gears. The action and position/path of the top jockey wheel is the same, so if long cage shifts onto 36. Shorter cage in the same mech will.

    with a 32/36 combo how does it compare to a 22/34 with a 32t rear sprocket?

    Short rear cage, chain as tight as, no drop device. Never drops with rough trail riding.

    with a 32/36 single ring (36t being the biggest cassette sprocket) combo how does it compare to a 22/34 with a 32t rear sprocket?

    Here’s mine:

    Chainset has now changed to a cut down XTR and a Saint short cage mech.

    Cut down XTR:

    I’m thinking of going with 160mm middleburn cranks at some point. with a 29T chainring.

    FRC – correction to mine above. It is a 29T up front. This suits my riding terrain very well and does not spin out on the way to and fro the trail – recommended as 1×9

    bonesetter – is the middleburn setup easy to do? Is it a Duo crank and a Duo 29t ring.
    I’m currently researching ways to get lower than a 32t front 1×9 ring.
    No chain device needed?

    Has anyone tried the Pauls Components Chain Keeper with a standard triple chianset? Any issues?

    Or how about the new Superstar chainguide that is very similar to the MRP/E-13 ones?

    I’ve been experimenting with 1×9 this last week using a 32T chainring and 11-32 cassette and one of Superstar’s XCR £17 chain devices.

    It looks much the same as Sir HC’s E13 and futon river crossing’s mrp above.

    Initial impressions are very good. After a bit of fettling with BB spacers to get the device in line with the chainline I’ve been loving it. In four rides I’ve not lost the chain and there’s only a tiny bit of rub on the device when I’m in the 11T at the back that I will try eradicate when I can be bothered.

    What size chainring are you 29er riders running up front? Im using a 36t on my 26 inch bike and was gona bung it on my new 29er when it arrives but after looking at this thread im thinking it may be too big.Running a 11/34 cassette btw.

    Dr_Brakes – what chainset are you running that set up with?

    swoosh, I’m just using an SLX triple chainset minus big ring and the granny. I’ve got a 32T Salsa singlespeed ring (big teeth) on order from Charlie the BM but the royal mail have conveniently lost it en route, however so far the chain has stayed in place.
