Changing the stock Pugsley 2×9 drivetrain to 1×10 offers a number of benefits including; improved shifting, a significant weight savings, no front derailleur to ice up or to drop a chain, and of course pure simplicity. By using the single Wolftooth drop stop chainring and the rear Shimano clutch derailleur, dropped chains and chain slap are a thing of the past. The Absolute Black cassette lock ring allows the removal of the 11 tooth cog when using the Wolftooth 42 tooth cog to achieve a tighter gear range. Without this lock ring you must remove either the 15 or 17 tooth cog from an 11-36 cassette. When I’m riding snow trails with a 28 tooth chainring, the 11 tooth cog never gets used and the loss of the 15 or 17 tooth cogs can be quite frustrating. There always seems to be a comfortable gear with the 13-42 cassette.
