For whatever this is worth, I agree -patrick -all my 1xs are so fussy. (But i live in a remote mountainous area and I am never on road. It’s more like mini repack terrain. So this info might not apply to this forum so much).
I got chain drop whenever it was slightly muddy. The chain guide mitigated that problem. But I still have the notorious back-pedal issues. For me it has to do with the big pizza ring (50t). Back-pedal has not been a problem with the 46. 50t when it’s working means I can climb almost anything. But I have the notorious back-pedal issues -it has to do with the big pizza ring (50t). Back-pedal has not been a problem with the 46. I’ve done b-tension w the special tool. Tried new chains, etc. but still no dice. Box one has an 8spd/50t coming out and I admit I am kinda tempted.But I will wait for the reviews. Maybe there’s something I’m missing but I am going back to 2x w. my next build. Much less drama for me. I need to talk to The Analog team about their buzzard gearing.
