I’ve been on 1×10 11-36 for a few months and will likely stick with this. Not a lot of hills in MN that I couldn’t climb with 32-36, and if there were, the problem would then be with me, not my bike. I’d like a closer cluster of gearings/cadences, but the gearing range for me is fine with a 1×10. I’ve never dropped a chain, running a narrow-wide and no clutch derailleur. But I do cut my chains short.
