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. On Thursday, August 10, 2017 at 2:31:54 PM UTC-5, Chris Birkenmaier wrote: > > I'm chewing on what to put on my

No. But it might be slightly oxidized on there by now ;^) On Thursday, August 10, 2017 at 6:33:44 PM UTC-4, Patrick Moore wrote: > > 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 >

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. On Thursday, August 10, 2017 at 12:31:54 PM UTC-7,

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.
