Ah, um, NO! Since you're running a shorter cage, and you can run a shorter chain, because your overall chain length needs are shorter since I'm achieving my easiest/small gear ratio using a 24t ring and 36t cog _(60 tooth count total)_ vs a 1x using a 32t ring and 50t cog _(82 tooth count total)._ Big ring is a 36t lets say and you don't go further up the cassette than your 2nd largest cog, a 32, then your total capacity is 64t, even if you went to the largest cog, then that's 72t total, 10 teeth less than the 1x setup, so equivalent much shorter chain, even if you leave it long enough to do the bad gear combo, sometimes. But maybe I'm a quack and don't know |WTF I'm talking about here :-\
