Currently have a 2 gear front chainring - looking to go to a single. A couple reasons here: 1st, hardly ever use my smaller gear. 2nd - I believe my front derailleur is worn out and dropping down randomly (even after multiple adjustments) 3rd - cleaner look and feel on the bike overall.

Rode the yellow + the northern loop today. About 6 miles. Really nice day out! Trails are in decent shape, some really slick stuff and some areas all dirt. Saw 3 other brave souls out today enjoying the trails.
LM is in great shape... Rode from about 11-12:30, hit up some of the yellow, red, teal, and the northern loop. Trails are in great shape, although covered in leaves. Only saw 1 other MTB and the dog walking lady... Perfect day out there to ride!
Just an update on my D - Took it back into the LBS that installed and they adjusted it. As he was looking at it, he saw the rear cog on the D was not aligned. He took it apart, re-set the bearing inside and re installed. Did 8 miles on LM and 5 miles at Chimney Rock since and so far so...
I haven't done any adjustments on the hanger or the D myself... I've taken it in to my LBS to do all adjustments. I think they just did derailleur adjustments, not sure they did anything with the hanger.
Any recommendations on a good LBS that take a look into this? I'm in Manville, work in...
