so finally converted my bike to 1x9. i never use the big ring and it killed my ground clearance, and i don't really use the tiny ring anymore now that i'm stronger. so far i really like it, less crap to adjust and i can enjoy concentrating on riding instead of screwing with more gears. i'm a little nostalgic too, makes me feel like i'm riding my first 5 speed bike back in the day.
i took the cheapass route, and all it took was:
- n-gear jump stop
- BBG bashguard 32 x 104BCD
- sunrace friction shifter (don't laugh, i LOVE this, my old index shifter stripped out and never downshifted right to begin with). i really like being able to dump multiple gears so easily which i do alot of on our local trails. plus its bombproof. i grew up with these so it feels pretty natural.
can't wait to ride this weekend, i love this time of year.
