ty for comprehensive reply!
my chui bike is budget 2002 avalanche 2.0
its old rim vbrakes.
i like the idea of 1x since its 1 less component should be more robust.
think it should be fine for pavement/commuting, just duno how jialat would a 1x8/1x10/1x11 be for trail climbs
the 1x10 xtrada 6 i am looking at also is not full deore i think.. 849

in the above link i am thinking some of those posts are seasoned or regular MTBikers on trails so i think if you can acheive 1:1 ratio for your lowest gear for a 1x drivetrain ought to be fine for all/most? Example i would think a 36-38T single chainring upfront and 11-40T rear on a 1x8 should be good to go for any terrain unless the cyclist super strong/fit and 36 : 11 is too slow for flats
