I just put most of the stock parts from my Remedy 8 in the "For Sale" section, they have just been sitting in a box since the day I brought the bike home! With that said I have indeed made the switch to a single ring setup in the front, I've got a Saint crank-set with a 38t E-Thirteen ring. Although its nice to have the extra rings up front I'm happier with the single ring setup since I mostly ride at the mountain!
