I want to build a 26 MTB with a 1x drivetrain, but not sure what setup I should choose for a 42T chainring at the front?
I have an adjustable bottom bracket, so I can place the chainring as close to the chainstay as possible.
I'm assuming I can't use an 8-speed derailleur and cassette in this situation, no?
So would it be possible to buy an 11-speed derailleur and cassete which works with a 42 chainring?
I know chainline won't be perfect but whatever. I'm more concerned about the chain being too short or the derailleur not being able to handle the difference between cogs and chainring. If anyone has successfully done this or can link a vid to someone who did it, it would be great.
