    I’m hoping to run 1*10 or 9 if I need to, ideally with a clutch mech

    I can’t work out if this is possible.

    anyone doing it? Any tips?

    Thanks

    1 x 9 on mine. 40t chainring with a 11-28 cassette, running a short cage 105 rear mech and a superstar chain guide to keep the chain on. It’s worked well.

    Saw on here a while back a company doing narrow wide chainrings for CX / road bike chainset spacings.

    Yeah,
    Race face and Absolute black both do narrow wide for cross.
    Been running a 38 Absolute black with no probs.
    No clutch but a short cage 105 mech with the spring tension changed up as reccomended by Absolute black.
    No drops yet!
    Thanx,

    That sound ideal.

    Thanks

    I’m doing an AbsoluteBlack n/w ring too, this time with a SRAM mtb X-9 Type II rear mech. Works perfectly, not dropped the chain once, no matter how clumsily I ride (and I am pretty clumsy on a CX bike).

    Doval 40t n/w here with un-modded 105 short cage here, 9spd cassette, 10spd Centaur Ergos. All good 🙂

    1×10 here with a 40t Race Face N/W chainring and a standard 105 rear mech. No chain drops in races yet (only dropped one ever, probably because I was clumsily shifting before hopping up a kerb).

    I used to run a standard chainring, bash guard and inner jump stop, but no need for those now.

    Proper muddy test at the weekend there and still no issues.
