Thanks for this. I’m slightly in two minds about the 1x, but leaning that way at the moment. I like the idea of keeping things simple and this bike won’t be used for long road miles.
Or you're designing a FS MTB and the suspension linkage wants to be in the same place a front mech would be. Or if you're SRAM and can't design a decent front mech. Or if you live in the flatlands so don't need the extra range a second chainring provides.
