Anyone ever done a 1X conversion without a clutch derailleur?
They seem to be in short supply and I'm wondering if I can get away with running a narrow-wide chainring and doing without a new RD.
It's for my cross bike so not dropping the chain is pretty important.
It works ok for general riding with the b-screw tension turned up high but it doesn't work in race conditions-the chain will drop every other lap!
