Good idea?
SRAM thinks so, they are likely to launch 1×11 road groups for MY2016.
SRAM Force CX1 would be a nice chainset to have if you insist on spending money, but you could just fit the chainring to your existing cranks with some single bolts and get the cranks later once your sure a single ring is for you.

Yet again I am ahead of trend. Having now Googled it according to http://www.bikemag.com/gear/srams-1x11-group-new-details-emerge/ they're looking at a 42T rear cog. Now that's a dinner plate.

This is, of course, a very good idea. Would you fit the single ring inside or outside the spider?
Hefty
I have a 2011 Planet X Nanolight with SRAM Rival except an FSA compact 50/34 chainset.
I want change to the chainset and got to thinking whether I really need a double.
The rear cassette is 12-36 so has a mega wide range and I'm thinking 44 up front would give enough top end speed on the flat and still let me climb at 5mph without having to stop and walk.
Good idea?
What SRAM chainset should I get? Something cyclocrossy?
