1x without some chain guidance is daring to get a chain drop eventually. Current way is a narrow/wide ring and a clutched rear mech, but a simple cage upper chain device will also work for road/gravel duties.
>>1915448>but then I remembered that those don't get pedaled uphill.You are more likely to drop a chain on high gears then on the low ones, as on higher gears you need to deal with cassette inertia and lowest RD pivot spring tension.
