Giant Reign, Needing some advice

[Trigger02]

Just got this of my mate who cannot ride and has given up lol

I would like to go 1x9 if that is not a bad idea as i hate all these mechs

I reckon you'll miss the extra gearset for that AM setup...

Coming from riding SS, you won't have a problem, even with your girlie little legs. Run a 34ish front and 11-36 front.
Chop chop Thor. Just grow a set and do it.

hahaha you are deadset right Lynard Skynard.. Anyone have a cheap guide for sale?

Awesome 09 reign you have there!!

You really won't have any problems running 1x

But can any of you boys comment in running a 33t vs 34t with a 11-36 cassette?

Running a 1x9 Setup on an older Reign here. 34T front, 32-11 rear. e13 XCX guide. (Chainring, guide and bolts set me back a little under $100)

The only time I spin out is on a 400m sealed road back to the carpark from a trail.

That's it right there, that looks phat too.. Is that the middle ring? I speak in objects not numbers as i am addhd dislexic lol

Nope. It's an e13 G-ring. made specifically for single ring setups up front.

Not advisable to use existing chainrings for a 1x setup as they have ramped teeth.
