• chain drop, not enough spring tension in RD to retain the chain, my experience wasnt with etap but with 6870 and a narrow wide ring, I also did the spring tension hack that you can do with shimano RDs and this was all bumpy road .. you really need a clutched mech to run 1x

  • Bollocks to that. Used to run 1x 6870 off road and not dropped a chain once. Also just built a 1x etap for a customer for CX and first thing he did was ride it down some stairs as shakedown. Guess what didn't happen?
