I think it was Bike Snob NYC who said that a lot of the fun of riding a Rivendell is combining components that aren't meant to go together and seeing if they work. On my Rivendell I have a 1x9 drivetrain. I use a SRAM GX 10 speed clutch derailleur, Silver 1 shifter on a thumbie, a narrow-wide Wolftooth chainring, a 9 speed Connex chain, and a 34 toothed 9 speed cassette. It all works great.
I was wondering what other 1x9 drivetrains people here are using, and if anyone has experience with any new 1x9 systems. Microshift, Shimano CUES, and Box components are all new options within the last few years. I'm also considering a SRAM GX Eagle crankset on my bike. Has anyone tried this with a 1x9? I am also interested in any high-end 9 speed cassettes (like SRAM's PG990, with an aluminum spider). Anyone holding a NOS one? SRAM has 10 speed cassettes that are very high end still available, and I might switch to one of those because of availability. Thoughts?
