  Yeh make sense. I’m sure most riders only use about 50% of their gears with a conventional setup anyway

  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

  Yep, I like that take. Like the idea of experimenting with 1x but on another build

  Suppose depends on your rings, but potentially less range and bigger gaps between gears. But tend to agree with spinnout's take... maybe it's not an issue

  Seeing a lot more people running a 1x setup on road builds, with big cassettes to compensate for the lack of range that 2 chain rings brings

  Figure it might be a bit of a marmite topic as functionally it's pretty flawed for more hilly riding. But do like the simplicity and aesthetics

  What do people think – love/hate? Any nice examples you've seen?

  Late to the party – but my Stroma build

  Loving it, but I fancy some summer upgrades... thinking maybe some Hunt carbon hoops, mainly just for the fun of it

  Also seeing a lot of nice custom 1x road setups...
