I fell for the 1x meme on a new build and it was fucking trash. Worked great for a week and then gears at both extremes stopped working because of gunk and shit in the derailleur. Requires constant fiddling and cleaning and the ratios are retarded. Super thin chain broke after one year of commuting. Switched to 2x9 and will never look back.

the modern bicycle was perfected in what, the 70s? literally stop reinventing the wheel. Sometimes things get better and sometimes things are fads. 1x is a fad
