>>1502654>1x and 2x/3x are pretty comparable in terms of simplicity, yes 1x needs tighter tolerances but it only has 1 shifting mechanism. Picking a bad design simply due to simplicity is a stupid idea, balance is needed.2x with bashguard. Why dont I see any more of those, bash not only does protect chainrings, but keeps the chain on together with FD...and that is even without adding the chainguide mounted on the BB, if you ad a chainguide and/or a RD with a clutch chances of chaindrop are very low, but it all went out of fashion since muh radavist. mtbers are the same as roadies, let noone tell you otherwise.
