Does anyone have any experience of running a single chainring with gears at the rear on a road bike?
Due to some knee problems thinking of changing my commuter single speed to 9 speed at the back . Don't really need 2 chainrings so was thinking of keeping just the 42t . Currently using a 9 speed chain with an old Nuovo Record chainring so it doesn't have ramps etc. Will this be enough to stop the chain dropping or am I likely to run into issues ?
Cheers
