Having stuck with my 2×9 drivetrain for some time now my recent stint of extra fixie and SS riding has made me decide that my general riding HT needs a light dose of MTFU / simplification.
So I’m going to be changing to 1×9
Costing it out, a works components thick / thin ring is about the cheapest option, but will it really retain a chain all on its own, as well as an “old fashioned” single ring and chain device set up, especially when used with my (clutchless) 9 speed mech…
Any experiences to share, especially using a 9 speed cassette and mech?
