My research turned up these suggestions to help chain on and 'ensmoothen' your shifting, esp. if you'll be going over bumpy terrain:
- Use a narrow-wide chain ring; the teeth profile grabs at the chain better than a traditional ring's teeth. (Or, use a chain guide ... but you might not like the looks of it...and it kinda negates the clean look of not having a FD anyway.) - Use a clutch rear derailleur to help keep tension on the chain at all times.
