Hey guys, today I'm going to convert the double chainrings to a single narrow wide chainring setup
The 1x setup is to eliminate the front derailleur, shifter, cable and housing
What is a narrow wide chainring?
If you don't want a chain guide, a narrow wide chainring is a good alternative for 1x setup
The narrow and wide tip fit the inner and outer links of the chain
This makes it more secure when you change gears and ride on pumping roads
to avoid the chain to fall off
Do you need double chainrings?
My only concern is to get the full potential of the 11/46T cassette
The smaller ring is 22T and the biggest ring is 32T
Let's see the differences between these two chainrings on hill climbing
Let's begin with the 32T chainring with the 46T cog
Now let's change to the smaller 22 chainring and ride on the biggest 40T and 46T cogs
The differences are minimal
The 22T chainring is too easy on flat roll and uphill riding
I'll rather maintain and build my cadence with the 32T chainring
Since I'll be only using the 32T chainring
There's no point to keep the smaller chainring on the cranks
