Thank you!
The chainline on my manual-2x7 on the Banshee has totally soured me on the nasty chain bends of the low gears on 12spd drivetrains.
I’m still waiting for floating chainrings to become a thing although I’m guessing 13spd will just move the 10t outboard (see space made by SRAM universal derailleur hanger).
Maybe chains that Pivot on the horizontal and vertical planes? Those would be excitingly expensive if possible!
I’m happy to pedal the weight of a steel ring - see my love of Wolf Tooth stainless but the inexpensive RaceFace ones are good too - but for this bike grams count when I can cut half the weight out of the cassette/ring and improve performance.
