What ring would you run up front?

I'm thinking of 32 or 36, just wondering what others thoughts/experiences are..
 
36t x 9 does it for me
found i wasnt going fast enough with 32t and didnt want something as big as an outer ring (eg 40t)
 
Everything I have will be 1 x ? ..

Can't get along with 3 up front..

May go 1 x 10 for one of them yet.. ;)
 
I'm running 32 up front cos that's what I had but had to buy a bash guard as it kept dumping the chain. It's ok but if you do alot of road miles or descending, I'd go for something a little larger :).
 
:cool:

Just remembered the 1x6 too... ;)
Interested to hear what devices (if any) people are using to keep their chains on?

The jumpy 1x8 had a BB mounted boomerang thingy with two jockey wheels to wrap the chain further around the ring. 1x6 has nowt & my old 'cross bikes had nowt either (although I ran two front rings a couple of teeth different & just picked which suited the course/conditions :cool:). I'm hoping the 'new' ('91 Dome :roll:) 1x8 will be fine as is, or maybe with a DCD?
