Wow now that looks like an amazing place to ride!

Update: I rode the same route I busted my chain on the other day, and the
new narrow-wide chainring handled beautifully! It got tested with snow of
every consistincy (powder to packed, to slush, and everything in between),
one section of road with deep cake-on mud, and it handled everything
The narrow wide 38t ring handled beautifully on our briefer by half
inaugural bikepacking trip of the year. It got long climbs with my full
load and low gear was low enough (just -- pre-QB days it would not have
been). That was dirt roads and no trail. No rough roads though, minimal
washboard.
Thanks; informative video. When did cyclocross go to 1 ring? At 10 or 11
cogs?

Campagnolo sold cyclocross chainring guards for converting your Super
Record Crankset to a 1x cyclocross setup in the 1970s and 1980s. You can
still find them on ebay. It was a standard setup. I don't know how far
back it goes prior to the 1970s. Google Campagnolo cyclocross chain guards
I hear you, Ron. The FD really adds a stunning amount of sound that I could
never get rid of. It's also a common sentament among those who shift to a
1x drive train to be delighted to not have the FD to mess with. This way, I
have my rock guard (my 46t ring), my riding gear, and my granny, but
seems like if you've gone to the trouble to fit a chain to that wide range,
a FD is a no-brainer. Especially shifting between the two larger rings in
terrain when you're moving. On my latest bike, compact double (little ring
is mostly for bailout, but also for trails) I did ride it without a
I always use friction shifting on my front derailleur (and don't understand
why one would want indexed FDs, mainly because you lose the ability to
trim)... On my mountain bikes, I run SRAM XO or X9 Grip Shifts (indexed
rear, friction front) and swear by them (but realize that's a tough sell to
The chain is shorter with this set up now. I can actually use the full
range of gears in both, though I minimize the use of cross chaining in the
24t as it's in the inside position of the triple. The 38t is in the middle,
so I use it's full range.
With abandon,

Nice! Glad you got it working Deacon. I love wide-narrow rings. They can
make for a noisy drivetrain over time as the teeth are a precise fit to the
chain, but staying on top of cleaning makes it a non-issue.

No. Every other tooth is wider. Google it, pictures make it easy to understand.

I run with a double and no front derailer on a couple of my bikes. Works
great: riding solo, move it to the 42t ring. Mountain biking or riding with
