I swapped bikes with my buddy a few days ago, he's got a cluster of parts, the important ones being a road crank with the 39t chainring mounted in the big ring position to clear the stays on a 1x9. Bad chainline means you can't go lower than the 26t cog without issues. I cranked this damn thing all over skeggs 3 days ago, and my knees are still killing me. It's not muscle pain, but like the joints themselves, it really hurts to stand from a squat. I have been collecting the last couple parts to build a short travel budget SS, but if this is how it is, screw it.
