Hi PL forum,
I know narrow wide chainrings are designed for 1x applications, but wondering if anyone has made them work with front shifting.
I am contemplating a wide/low double setup in front with shimano r7000 11sp group. I have a wolftooth 44t narrow wide ring i wanna use as the "big" chainring.
I anticipate the shifting performance will kinda suck but might technically work? I am using a square taper crank so i can mess with spindle width if needed to give the FD a little extra power to throw the chain over to the small ring.
Has anyone done something like this before? Can you tell me if it's gonna fail catastrophically or work so poorly that i'll be miserable?
Any advice/criticism/ridicule is welcome.

adam
