• Nice - I have an ancient Inbred (it still has v-brake mounting points) which serves me very well. I look forward to deliberation, progress, photos etc.! I'd say 10-spd is a good shout for a 1x build, as it's where the clutch mechs start (as in, a 9-spd clutch mech doesn't exist, it's called Shadow which is the slimmer profile, but Shadow+ is the clutch denominator) in Shimano's range at least. For budgets, I'd massively recommend SunRace cassettes and Microshift shifters, if you can bear not having a thoroughly matching groupset.

  • Would you say a clutch mech is worth it? I’m happy to have a mish-mash of parts and it’ll likely be 2nd hand all the way.
