    sure, good to keep the front mech and set the adjuster screws to lock it out over the ring to help keep the chain on.

    this is presuming that your cranks have removable rings.

    Why not just don't use your front derailer shifter?

    Does the weight drop by removing the 2 rings make that much of a difference to the overall weight of your bike?

    Either go all out SS or use the gears you want.
