There are loads of resons for wanting a 1x set-up (dont ask me if they are good or not).
Less chain suck.
Less chain drop at the front
mMore ground clearance
Simpler gear range
Lighter weight
I have a 11-36 XTR 10 spd cassette, shortcage OX rear mech, Sram 900TT lever (mounted on paul thumbie), custom SS 31T chainring, and BB mounted guide. All waiting to be put on my heavily delayed Fatbike. It was pretty darn top of range when I got it together FFS!
