Thanks to all for the suggestions thus far! Thinking a 1x10 will be the ticket -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

My riding is similar to what you describe and I'm running a modified triple as a 1x9. If I were starting from scratch, I would go with a dedicated 1x10 or 1x11 groupset.

go 1x10 or 1x11. none of my bikes have front retailers and all of them are happy about that.

One thousand gold stars for such a cool single shifter. Do you blue Loctite the bolt? Patrick Moore, who used those on his pseudo half step 2X7 on Kelly Take-offs.

1st iteration MMM will be a Nexus 8 with Alex tandem rims and 50mm Big Bens. I have a couple bikes with Alfine 8s, but they are noisy and my Nexus is silent (and 36H). If I don't like that I might swap over the 1x9 12-34 from my Clementine.

[RBW] Re: Drivetrains for Riv Mountain Mixtes
The world collectively sighs in relief. Grin. I love the simplicity and range of my 2x9 with 38/24 chain rings and 12-36 rear cassette. Thumb shifter for the rear, no derailure for the front. Granny is reserved for trail and now-there's-a-hill! dirt roads. In more mild terrain than mine, a 40 or even 42 would be a good main chain ring. I use a narrow-wide chain ring for better retention and it works great (granny is always in a high tension gear anyway so doesn't come off). The outer chain ring is my rock guard with teeth (well, a few are left anyroad). Grin.

[RBW] Re: Drivetrains for Riv Mountain Mixtes
My Medium Mountain Mixte is going to inherit a 3x8 drivetrain I used to have an Appaloosa. While the Appaloosa nailed the midpoint between an Atlantis and a Hunqapillar, I decided that I wanted BOTH an Atlantis AND a Hunqapillar. So I sold the Appaloosa frameset, handlebars and wheelset. The drivetrain that had been on my Appaloosa had been earmarked to go on a forthcoming Hunqapillar. I'm holding off on any Hunqapillar and/or Atlantis purchases until Riv sorts out some things. In the meantime, here comes the Medium Mountain Mixte, so basically everything that could have gone onto the Hunqapillar will go onto the MMM. Crankset: Ritchey Logic 94/58 42/32/22 Pedals: pedals Front Der: Campy Triple Rear Der: Shimano XTR M950 Cassette: XTR 12-32 8-speed Shifters: Shimano 8sp barcon BL in EC On Thursday, August 10, 2017 at 12:31:54 PM UTC-7, Chris Birkenmaier wrote: > > I'm chewing on what to put on my forthcoming Mountain Mixte.

[RBW] Re: Drivetrains for Riv Mountain Mixtes
My riding is similar and I'm running a 1x9 drivetrain on my Karate Monkey and although I have a triple on my vintage Trek MTB, I've never shifted out of the middle ring. I mostly ride both bikes as single-speeds and only shift if I'm really tired and/or I have a really strong headwind.
