How to convert your bike to a 1x drivetrain.

Thumbnail Credit (bikeradar.com) (Wolftooth Components): 1x drivetrains are becoming increasingly popular and the norm for modern mountain bikes thanks to their low weight, reduced maintainence and lack of handlebar clutter (Wolftooth Components)Thumb Overlay."There is an undeniable appeal to a single chainring set up, provided it suits your riding style and terrain. Ditching one or more chainrings, a front derailleur, a shifter and the associated cables can not only shed close to a pound, but also adds a bit of simplicity to your bike's cockpit at a time when handlebars are increasingly cluttered with GPS units, dropper post remotes and suspension lockout levers."

Thumbnail Credit (cyclingtips.com.au) Photography by Kirsty Baxter: Photography by Kirsty BaxterThumb Overlay."I’m an elite level racer and spend a lot of hours in the saddle. I’m healthy. I’m strong. And I’m confident on the bike. Yet every time I see a picture of myself in lycra (or spandex as we say in the US), I cringe.

Even in a podium shot - hands in the air, a big smile on my face - my eyes go straight to my hips, my thighs and other “soft” areas. Ugh."
