I am currently running the Race Face Next SL cranks with a 26t in the front
and a XTR 11-36 in the rear. I am also running a new Saints M820 SS
derailleur. I have ran the Sram xx1 setup the problem the chain ring, chain
wears out in 500 miles including the cassette. After 500 miles with the sram I
was getting a ratcheting noise from the front and if I pedaled backwards more
than three times the chain would drop several gears. The problem is the chain
line is to stressed not to mention the price of xx1. Bash guards are a thing
of the past I am running the narrow wide with a clutch derailleur, but I am
also running a MRP 1x chain guide in place the BB spacer. It works great you
will still get some chain drop every once in a while with the narrow wide even
with the clutch derailleur if you are riding hard enough.
