1X drivetrains are growing in popularity and have already taken over the offroad world. They have also grown in recognition on road, due to their use in professional squad Aqua Blue Sport. For this job, you will need a specific narrow wide chainring, a derailleur hanger extension and some basic tools to remove your old chainrings. You may also require shorter chainring bolts if they do not tighten down sufficiently. We hope you enjoy Jon's latest hack and that it may inspire you to get creative yourself!
