I did the same thing, but 1x8(32x11-32). The big ring I got rid of because I NEVER use it. the granny ring turned out to be the source of my climbing problems. No matter how much I waited the front and try to pedal smooth, I could not get the front end to stop wondering. this was also on a bike with a 110mm stem at the time. Or maybe it was just me.
@blackdubsociety, I'm running a 32x11-34, may go to 11-36 for climbing steeper stuff. I'm now running a MRP Lopes SL Chain Guide. Works pretty well, I think it was made for downhiller though... One negative is that I can't run a bash guard when running the lopes chainguide.
You mean the asian guy on that show? I'll take that as a compliment.....lol Another guy said I look like the asian guy in the last Star Trek movie....lol
Hey Liv, you need to remove the chain, there is an area of the chain where you can take it apart. There are a few different types, but it is easy to do.
I would suggest that you keep the middle ring for a 1x9 setup as there is too much 'spinning' if you just had the smallest ring up front.
Hi, i was wondering how u removed your front derailleur. Did u have to seperate the chain or is there another way to get it off? Also, I was thinking about setting this up on my bike but on the smallest ring in the front. Would this work? Could I simply remove the 2 outer sprockets and ride it like that? Thanks a bunch.

@liv4powder112 if you just remove the outer sprockets the chain will come off as the rear derailleur pulls from side to side
