Hello,

i'm already looking for my single ring setup for next season.
I was thinking of the K-Edge solution until I saw the problems with the Sunweb team.
The last four races(Rome, Hoogerheide, Worlds & Maldegem) they had each problems with it.
I'm looking now for something like the MRP guide. Someone know if there is a variant available for 44t or 46t

Granted I ride no where near the pace of the pros but having used a K-Edge with a mechanical Dura Ace 7900 front mech and SRM Hollowgram all season. Seems like for single ring, either the K-Edge Cross Single Chain Catcherl or Cross Single XL Chain Catcher would be a sturdy solution.

Double guards will always be more reliable than any watcher on the inside, and little to no weight penalty.

I suspect some of the problems you see when riders switch to a single ring setup is leaving the chain too long, you need a shorter chain for single ring than for a double setup.

Agreed on making your chain as short as possible.

I've had better luck with the E13 XCX style catchers than any of the other setups.

I have used an outer guard and an N gear Jump stop with success as well. I don't like the straight up/down profile of the K-edge stuff. The Jump Stop has a nice angle on it to help keep the chain on or push it back on if it does pop off.

If you run Sram, you should just get an x9 or X0 type 2 rear mtb der. You'll have no chain slap and never drop a chain again.

Next season? Don't buy anything right now. Wait and see if SRAM does XX1 for cross. You'd pick your front ring (48/46/44/42) depending on the course and have a big ass cassette in the back.

Not had any issues with a N-gear jumpstop and a BBG guard here.

this.

Already some news about the special 1x10 chainrings?
