Using 1x11 setup with NW chainring and non clutch rear mech

[ancker]

I'm running 11sp eTap on my gravel bike with a WiFli RD.
I've got a NW chainring and a chain guide bolted to the FD hanger, I'm not sure I really need it but it's a little extra insurance.

Ok,ok,but if I would like to go with 1x11 gearing, I understand I can install the NW chainring as a outer ring? Or do I have to buy 1x (Sram Force1 ) crankset?

A NW chainring is all you need for road riding. Don't worry about buying a new crankset. Any crankset will do as long as you buy a compatible NW chainring for your specific crank. I have a Shimano ultegra di2 1x 50t NW chainring that I sprint, climb, and everything in between. I've hit bumps while pedaling that I lose water bottle from my cages but my chain has yet to drop since I've first set up my 1x.

I have a Sram X-Sync 50T NW chainring mounted to my Red22 Crankset, where the outer ring would be

Wow, this is an old thread. Apologies for helping Pablo dig this one up

Weighs 5g! Bolts on to a braze on front mech hanger!

Sorry for digging this up but does anyone have the link to where to get this or a similiar product that isnt too expensive?

Thanks
