Since I am running nw up front I would prefer it if the cassette ran odd number of teeth in all cogs.

There was no 1x back then. Not with a decent range.
And today you can go from SRAM 8sp 11-48 cassettes through to KCNC 12sp 9-52 .. what a time to be alive!

People sure are keen for more 1x range, seeing as 9-52 still does not beat 3x9. I mean, it's close enough to 44/32/22 x 11-32, but not so close to 11/34. And nowhere near XT 3x11 (40/32/22 x 11-40)!

I like 3x9 too but the cassette range is no tighter than most, in fact popular 9sp 11-32 (EG CS-M770) has the exact same first 9 cogs as lots of HG 11 and 12sp cassettes (EG CS-8000 11-42, 11-46, PG1230 11-50...)
I like 3x 9 have it on several bikes but its the big gaps of the pizza tray cassettes that put me off .
I have 10s 11-40s too and the time for it to move to the 40T seems longer ?

Thanks for all the bananas
Microshift isn’t all it’s cracked up to be....based on a couple of mates experience.
Really? That's a shame, I read everywhere that's it's a great bit of kit but they were initial impressions rather than long term reports.

What negative feedback are you hearing?
