I am using the 42 jim on an old stumpy, w and 36-24 up front, and on a gus,
w a 36 1x. it rules and i will be adding one to my 650b rb 2 eventually. i
am using a wolftooth road link on both, not the best looking but doesn't
wreck the look of either bike.

For my derailer, yeah, I needed an extender to use the 42t cassette, but
with the extender it worked great, even in 24x42, and 38x42. in 24x42 it
was very very spinny, I probably have looked down to check it the chain
came off before.

Hi, Slin - did you need to use a derailleur extender with the 13-42
cassette? If not curious how well the front 24 and rear 42 work together.
Maybe this has more to do with what a particular RD can handle/wrap.
Thanks,
Scott

For a few months now, I've been using the 13-42 on my Clem with the stock
38/24 chain rings. I've rarely switched to the 24, so if I were setting it
up again, I'd be comfortable using it as a 1x.
90% of my use is hauling kids over small hills in SF, and a bit of trail
riding.
I'd say it
