[Closed] Titus rockstar - why no 1X drivetrain?

Chainstay too wide causing interference with the chainring?

I have to know now

I would say its the dropout/horst link position. I suspect that 11 spd SRAM and Shimano mechs would both struggle to not catch on the pivot. Of course it [i]is[/i] 1x compatible by definition if it can run 2 or 3x, I suspect they mean dedicated 1x set ups.

hmm that means im putting my 2x10 off my hardtail onto the rockstar and the hardtail gets a new groupset... 😀

I assume by fails they mean fouls.

But why would it..? Lets say you run a triple on it.. I assume they are fine with triples. Remove rings and put nw in middle ring position. That is physically no different to a triple, just with less chain rings.

Perhaps running a single ring in the inner ring position of a double will foul. But then... Surely they should say.. Runs fine 1x but use a triple crank.

@cp - my thoughts exactly! i just dont get it as i just cant see how a frame cannot be 1X compatable. I was going to use a double crankset with nw ring in the outside position, which is the same as running a double setup.

Maybe the chainline will be shit?

Wouldn't it be shit in the middle ring of a triple as well then?

Has your chainring failed yet? 🙂

is it the photo or is that TT super short?

Just seen this post the bike above is my mates and mine is 1x10 as well with no issues as above surely it would be no good in the middle ring either if 1x10 was no good??

Both of us have had no problems with 1x10

I'm no expert but my guess would be that they assume you mean a dedicated Sram 1x11 system which would probably make the chain foul on the pivot or something, my Codeine has about 1billlionthhh of a millimetre clearance, a 1x10 would be slightly narrower.
