• Think a chain keeper would make much difference if you don't have much mud clearance out back? Or perhaps it's just another thing likely to get snapped off?

    I ask out of curiosity because @spotter dropped his chain two or three times this weekend on totally flat ground, despite running a narrow-wide Superstar components chain ring and a clutched rear derailleur.

    Granted it was super muddy and very leafy, but my Inbred was trouble free running the same rear Nobby Nic tyre, same Zee rear derailleur, Hope narrow-wide ring up front. The only difference seemed to be clearance; I have tons whereas the Cannondale doesn't.

  • Odd, I only dropped my chain once* running 1x11 with a narrow wide and no device and went through hellish mud.

    How bad is the clearance on the cannondale?

    *unless you count the multiple chain snaps...

  • running 1x11 with a narrow wide and no device and went through hellish mud.

    Depends on the type of mud. Never experienced sticky clay in Wales ( which I assume you're referring to).
