I get the 1x for trail riding and all that, including putting on wide tires to avoid chain/tire rub, and I get that 10,11, 12 speed cassettes have great ranges now, especially 11 and 12, but I know someone who bought a Troll set up as a 1x with 10 speed, and the 32t chainring and 42 (probably) cassette give a good low, but the 32/11 high is pretty darn low, and when we ride together, she is nearly always in the 11 and 13t cog, which is going to wear a lot over time, plus the chainline is setup nearly straight in the 13t cog.....ie lots of cross chaining in the mid to larger cogs at the rear (I suspect it was not setup right, with the chainring set out too much)

I dunno, the bridge club original double looked like a great setup that would cover more varied riding--but I admit that I have a touring mindset.
