@@rustyburger I started out city riding in Boston (with traffic) running a front derailleur. At some point, I realized I never used it, like at all. I kept the middle chain ring, lost the other two & removed the front derailleur. Made it feel more responsive & gave it a much nicer, clean look. Cheers

@@houseofsolomon2440 Yeah, it's the same as me, I barely shift out of my biggest gear because most of the climbs I'm around I can burst up them. I eventually want to change it to a single speed in the front as well, but my biggest ring still has some life left to give - when I do though that'll be a lot of weight savings, probably a pound at least of rotational weight which is worth like roughly 3 pounds of standard weight - pretty meaningful for a 27 pound mountain bike! I get what you're trying to suggest, thanks for the hints :D I've already been thinking of it for awhile, but am trying to save money for a road bike right now :D

@@rustyburger You totally get it ... I was probably just trying to spread the gospel of single chain rings 😄 Wishing you safe & fun travels 🏝
