  • I'm trying it atm as i fudged my FD and had a NW ring in the parts box. The range is fine for me but the noise in the higher and lower end of the cassette is an issue. I'm running a 50t on a CAAD with short chain stays and the cross chain angle is quite severe and makes for a noisy drivetrain. Nice and simple in the mid range on the turbo which is where the bike spends most its life but something to be aware of if you're planning on using a bigger front ring on a road frame.

  • I’d read that a clutch type rear derailleur is best for the 1x setup – not sure if that would help at the higher/lower ends

  • On the road you don’t need a clutched RD, just the NW ring will be enough to keep the chain on.
