I've got a 2011 stumpy fsr elite. I've done some small modifications but nothing drastic. I was looking for any thoughts on switching to a 1x setup instead of the stock 2x. I drop the chain on this guy when I ride more than I would like, and I've though about a chainguide/bashguard addition. Anyone have any preferences on which way to go? This is my second year riding, so any advice is welcome believe me.
Thanks guys/gals

Also, I was up in your neck of the woods two weeks ago at Curt Gowdy. Only on the black diamond portion of Canyon climbing from east to west did I want a lower gear than 34:42. For your first one-by setup, be kind to your legs and go with a low tooth count front ring because you will have to learn how to broaden your legs' power output and cadence to accommodate the new gearing. Once you fall in love with the simplicity of one-by, which most do, you can move onto X01 (or X91... if SRAM goes that route by then) and choose a more aggressive chainring.
