    Sizing will depend on the largest ring size, but I doubt 1x9 you'll be running a 42, so when you go single you'll need to shorten the chain.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
