[RBW] 2x7 AHH, no front derailer

2011-10-10 Thread Thomas Lynn Skean
This sounds like a good experiment. I'm virtually always on my middle chainring anyway. I think soon I'll just remove my derailer (it's a braze-on style that's bolted to a clamp) and see what happens. I've never noticed the chain hitting the front detailer's cage during rear shifts. But it might

I've done fder-free doubles many times. One chainring that I use always, and one bailout ring. Never had issues with dropping the chain, but I suppose if you were doing cyclocross or other rough riding, it may be an issue. Usually I run a triple with the outer ring replaced by a Salsa Crossing G

I wonder if your chances of a stable chain depend partly on the ring/cog combination -- ie, if you spend most of your time with a straight chain, perhaps the chain will jump less? My front derailleur-less setups have always had the chain on the cruising gears more or less centered and I've not dump
