i think i would be up to giving them the finger if it wasn't for the fact i needed super tiny chainrings (34/24) to even make it viable, and they cost an abscene amount apparently
or as much as a modern deore mech and modern casette
@Cupcakes a 11-42 deore is £50 ... which is definately not cheap, but the same price as 1 (one) chainring
@rawspuds sadly not because i have to use tiny chainrings due to not being the most athletic, but also the fact 9 speed will only take me (within mfg spec) to 34t casette, it all works out about the same with 1x, just less optional gears. between that range (fine with me)
i keep telling them it's cool to be last but they will not believe me @BareNecessities , toxic masculinity in action
2x9 just for giving the bike industry the finger
