[Closed] 1x9 on road?

with a unramped chainring its fine IME

Yup, works well.
11-28 with a 105 rear mech and an unramped 42T Salsa chainring.
I do use a N-Gear Jump Stop on the inside though.

i use a 44t ramped deore chainring and a superstar xc guide its been excellent for about 7000 miles

now the ring is wearing its dropping under power so im looking for a 44t 104bcd 4arm dh ring ......anyone

I used to use a 42 and a 12-27 cassette. I didn't use a guide/ keeper.

use a 48t ramped deore front ring and it drops all the time when dropping off kerbs and stuff. Fitted my own chain device (a front mech cage and a plastic bracket) and it's been fine since.

i ran 1x9 on a roadrat, the front chainring had a guard on it but never had any bother

As epo-aholic, Roadrat 45 front and a 105 cassette with a 105 rear mech. Worked a treat.

i was running 11-25 with a 42t un-ramped on my tri-cross and using the n-gear thing too - the jump stop is really good, chain never came off riding but if it ever was pushed off in transit or when cleanign you could pedal it back on like you had a mech

i now have a double ring as scottish hill routes are too steep
