Yeah, extreme edges of chainline are going to be the biggest issue - smashing it along an A road with a tailwind in the 11T for example.
Don't want the chain too tight though or there might be too much friction, no?
Quality of the road - this is Britain - they should be referred to as "goat tracks" not roads.
I'd prefer not to use a chain guide but I guess I'll see how it works in testing. What chainring and chain were you using? I've got 11spd DA so it might prove too much for a single ring. Not sure yet.
