It's becoming more and more commonplace to run a 1x drivetrain. Your
existing XD2 with a nice narrow-wide ring, intelligently chosen, could be a
really smart setup. I've had very good success with a 42T ring, and an
11-28 or 11-32 cassette, but I have hills to speak of. With really no
hills

I love that you used a Pletscher rack. I have one on my Atlantis and my

they are under $5. They are almost always missing hardware, but there is a
way to mount them using the leftover P-clamps that come with Nitto racks.

Here’s the rundown, as best as I remember it while typing this fro bed:
-This is an MIT 51cm Samuel Hillborne, made for Caliper brakes.
-brakes are the Riv caliper Tektros
-Shimano Tiagra brake levers.
-shifters are some Shimano thumbies, rigged up by Rich at Kenton Cycle
Repair, in Portland.
Thanks for the input. Makes me wonder if I should try to use the Sugino
crank after all. The limiting factor is that it’s 130bcd, and as far as I
can tell that limits me to a 38t inner. Maybe that’s good enough. Then the
question is what to use for a big ring. Is 46t too close? 50t seems maybe

I am 6'2, 220 (36/32 pants) and fairly stocky/broad (played rugby for a

You could use as small a big ring as low a 42 if you want with a 38, 4

I, too, am a big fan of low BB drops. Riv introduced it to me and it’s one of

Ya that’s a good idea too. Oddly enough the crank already has a standard
Sugino 42t ring on it. Would that be sufficient? I’ve only ever used it
with a single freewheel. I’ve read things in the past about chains jumping
on 1x setups... is that even a concern with a road bike though?

If you have a 42 already, there is little harm in trying it out. I think
chain dropping is a real thing, and a wide-narrow ring is one of several
mitigations to reduce its likelihood. Wolf tooth makes a 130BCD 42 tooth
wide narrow ring and I'm sure others do as well.
Glad you're on the mend, neighbor!

No, when I have ridden road bikes with a 1x drivetrain and a standard
chainring, I have not experienced a frequency of chain drops that I
considered problematic. Generally I think the bumpier one's riding the
more likely the chain will drop. Generally I think the wider the rear

In your experience a 42 single ring up front and an 11-32, say 10-speed,
cassette in the back is appropriate for a more roadish bike with moderate
