Patrick: Since you'll be spending most of your time on a single ring, how about one of Surly's steel ones? Also, you can probably mix'n'match 7/8/9 speed cogs with 9 speed spacers to optimize using thicker cogs for the ones you use most & 9 speed (thinner) for the extremes. Currently I'm using a 13-28 7 speed cassette with a 34t 9 speed big cog, all spaced with 8 speed spacers, on an 8 speed freehub. Shifts great & even indexes correctly. Using Ultegra 8 speed bar ends & one of the Microshift RDs that Riv had on sale a while back. Nothing exotic.
