Put the single chainring on and a wide range cassette make it perfect (and light).

You're trolling me I know but this is balls, unless you only ever ride at the boring speeds on boring terrain.

Not trolling, actually thinking about doing that on the road and touring bike.

Touring bike = 40t chainring
Road bike = 44t chainring

Touring = 96-29GI
Road = 107-33GI

(mate with 11-36 cassette; 11-13-15-17-19-21-23-25-28-32-36).

What is wrong with two chainrings?

On a CX or MTB it's nice to keep the seat tube free of a mech.

On a town bike terrain and speed don't vary and performance doesn't matter.

I'm not sure why you'd compromise a road or touring bike like that. Sounds like an excuse to be a smartarse ;-)

This is what I'm running on the Talbot CX bike in summer road set-up. Thorn 44t ring, X0 derailleur, one Rival and one S500 leaver. Roubaix didn't kill it, so nothing will.

Yes, I am a smartarse.
