Unlike the rear, which is a marvel of engineering, the Front Derailleur uses force, under load to wack the chain. They suck.

1x is the way.
Horses for courses. 1x is great for dirty stuff, but if your bike is going to mostly clean, 2x is better. Unless you bought a Shimano mechanical derailleur and didn't set it up correctly.

I can't believe I just read commentary that has SRAM as the better front shifting design. It was bound to happen eventually.
I've got no complaints about my SRAM Yaw Front Derailleurs. Are they notoriously bad or something?

Hahah, looks like we're in the same spot! FWIW, it works great in the stand, its just clunky while riding.
