Was assuming you would use a NW ring.
I have a feeling clutch mech's may have higher frictional losses than regular mechs as well.

Reading the 1xn thread on TTF, not everyone is sold on NW rings: Stephen at Fibrelyte in particular.
Either way, it would limit the choice of rings somewhat (was thinking of a Fibrelyte full aero ring) and it doesn't solve the problem of chain slap.
I didn't know about the extra drag with a clutched mech though: I'll have to look into that.

Not even with a single ring up front?
Seems like the best option as it cures the problem (chain slap), rather than treating the symptoms (N/W ring or a chain guide).
