That is too bad. With the rise of 1x8/9/10 and now 11, I think they could 
really expand their customer base with a good wide-narrow option. Hopefully 
they change their mind in time. 

Agreed to a point.  I like WI stuff.  The more reasons to buy the better.  
I would love to have a WI crank on my 1X bike.

However, product lines are always a challenge for a small manufacturing 
operation like WI.  In order to join the 1X wave it is possible WI would 
need new equipment and employees.  If their product misses or the trend 
dies before the investments pay off it could be quite a blow to their 
viability.  

Not quite the same thing, but a while back there was a good article about 
the Paul Rear Der that for a while in the '90s was the hottest thing 
going.  Despite demand and customers willing to pay a premium, production 
challenges for such a small operation almost put Paul out of business.
