I'll put $20 on this not being a SRAM problem. Put a SRAM cassette back on the bike and the problem would likely go away, put that drivetrain on another bike and I'm positive it would go away.

That is certainly possible.

Beat me to it. The SRAM 1x, whether or not it's ideal or even passable for pro level racing, has been pretty well sorted out. Putting it on a wonky frame with no chain retention and non-SRAM cassettes is just asking for issues.

SRAM wouldn't be as popular in the MTB world if their clutch designs had any sort of design problem at all. I wonder how much of that drivetrain isn't SRAM, chainring maybe?
OTOH, I always thought road 1x was pretty silly, unless it's for a relatively flat TT |

Who was it, famous bike toss during TdF, ITT and he wanted his front der and small ring off(?)...David Millar?

Not sure if it’s the one but Bjarne Riis had a nice toss during a TDF ITT.

So the team owner is throwing 3T and Sram under the bus? Isn't he the one that approved a 1x only bike as a sponsor?
There are a million reasons for chain drops, 1x or 2x. Though I am no pro (racer or mechanic) I will say that I've had more chain drops from poorly adjusted front derailleurs on the road than I ever have on my SRAM 1x gravel and MTB setups. That's because I've never dropped a 1x chain. |

Yes, I think it was David , in a prologue in London?

This is what I remember as well. Well before the advent of narrow-wide tooth profiling and clutch RDs. Also seem to remember that Millar said afterwards that it was his decision and his fault.

I remember, he hit bumpy section and the chain came off on the crankarm side. 2003 Tour, he reached down to put his chain back on.

I don't understand. Why doesn't Delaney just buy the bikes and components he wants to race??

That's a $300,000 swing in budget at a minimum.

There would be a large exchange of cash to have a team ride bikes that are *THAT* stupid....

Not exactly sure how this works, but they were on Ridley last year. Was 3t his only bike option? Or just the one that offered the best deal of currency and equipment? Surely some bike manufacturer that builds “normal” bikes would be interested in sponsoring a team like Aqua Blue
