I'm running a 1x10 with the following:
Zee single specific crank.
RF Narrow Wide 32T.
XT 11/36 cassette.
KMC gold chain.
XO short cage clutch mech.
I experience some noise in the lowest (largest) gear, however I didn't experience this with a 1x9, is this normal? It's as if my gears aren't indexed but I know they are!!
My gears are indexed perfectly, chain isn't too short/long but it was quieter with my non clutch/NW 1x10 combo with a guide?
I've read that the NW rings can cause this noise but I thought I'd get other opinions.

Yes, I think they are noisier but it's a trade off on the security a nw gives you

I actually commented on that thread but didn't want to hijack it as it was started as a 'chainline' thread, but I did read the odd comment about the rings.
Much prefer the set up now but thought I'd ask another '1X' question!!
Oops, sorry.
You're ok, any comments good or bad always help!!
@jonv. (even though your the only one on the thread!)
Noise has gone.
I was running a KMC chain and read another thread about them not being 100% compatible with NW rings, so I switched back to my XT chain and the noise has gone, happy days and no trade offs!!
