Justin had one or two of those. I never tried one, but I think he broke/bent at least one. Not that they don't work for some, though!! He's just wicked hard on his bike parts.

I too am building a 1x9...

11-34sram in rear with leftover deore shifters and derailer parts.

so sounds like 29-32 is the hot setup for middle rings?

I can tell you that it is nearly impossible to find because I searched for this chainring/Crank for a couple of months to find it... Boone is not making anyhting right now...

Pm me and I can bring it to Funtuckey if you want to check it out...

[Chewyeti]

That's pretty!

I doubt i could afford it LOL.




Next question - is ANYONE running 1x9 without a chain guide?

Seriously. I just noticed my polished White Industries cranks are scuffed. I almost wept. It's like seeing someone draw a mustache on The Mona Lisa.

I spent half of my time at the SS lovefest trying to convince people that climbing with a SS is EASIER.



The laws of physics may contradict me, but I can't ignore what my legs tell me. Spinning & spinning & spinning in the small chain ring is SO much more work than standing up on a SS.

I resemble that remark!

With the right chainline and a high tension rear DR, I would think it would be possible. Maybe run short cage or medium cage rear DR to reduce the slack and shorten the chain.

Why the aversion for chain guides?
