Already have chain coming off backpedaling with a stock shimano 11-42 11sp.
Exacerbated by the 422mm chainstays on my bike i'm sure, but the chainline in
the lowest gear is so abysmal (with a RF turbine 1x crank, i think chainline
is 50.5 on those like shimano) i'm seriously considering going back to 2×9
next year. Even on alpine rides when you're hike-a-bike and the chain is in
the lowest gear, the quarter or half turn backpedal from the pedals hitting
brush is enough to derail the chain so you spend all day spinning the pedals
forward to get the chain back on before you get back on the bike. F modern 1x.
