Yes as in I have not dropped a chain since the conversion, as that is the topic of this thread. In addition, I have not snapped any chain links due to too much chain tension, gear changes are smooth, chain does not slip, derailleur has not given any problems. Drive train runs smoothly and I am happy with the performance. Not sure what else you would like?

Just to iterate what some guys said in the beginning: I run a 1x10 wolftooth n/w with an slx rear derailleur (no clutch) and yet to drop a chain. Did some reading when I converted and decided to remove 2 or 3 (cant remember) chain links (coming from a triple crankset) so that In the largest cog at the rear, the arm of the derailleur sits at 45 degrees to the vertical, pointing toward the front of the bike. Not very scientific but it worked...

Guy selling a 26" Trance frame in the classifieds for R3500: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/74367-giant-trance-frame-m/ Not a bad place to start...

Not sure of the name but I quite like the coffee shop across conrad drive opposite the fratellis...tables outside facing conrad drive, good coffee

I suppose so, but like anything it depends if the effort and time outweighs the cost...hoping for something super cheap

Great idea....any word on this becoming available here?

If you are willing to put one together yourself, Joe Friel's various straining bibles give some great advice. Can go pick one up at Exclusive Books....

I also just made some purchases from Evobikes, custom orders with a lot of help from Janos. Super super service
