Quinn, totally diggin that 1×9 setup(at least that’s what it looks like) on the Kona Jake. NICE bike!

1×9 is “da bomb” — as long as you get decent chainline to start with!
And a bike in the bedroom — YES!! Great stuff, Q.

Thanks for the comments!
yes that is a 1×9, since then I had the low chainring(orig 3×9) reinstalled for the bad weather, but its coming off when the good weather re-appears. OR
I could change it from 30-39 double to a 28-42?
