That old saying "the best mountain bike is the one you own." I'm certainly happy to see all the inexpensive stamped-steel narrow-wide rings hitting the market as well as budget-friendly clutch derailleurs like MicroShift and Box.
It's not that there isn't still a place in cycling - and mountain biking - for front derailleurs. But 1x makes budget bikes better.
