So that's instead of just having two chainrings? Um... why?

Why? To get rid of the FD and front shifter and avoiding to shift front and back in critical race situations. Some people think they can benefit from it.

Oh. Now I remember! If some people _think_ they can benefit from it,
we're not allowed to discuss what anyone else may think.

IOW, comparison of real benefits and detriments is strongly discouraged
here.

He don't shoot the messenger. You asked a question I tried to answer politely. If it has no benefit for you don't buy a 1x11/12 set up. For me it has no benefit so I stay with 2x11 set ups. Why do you say 'if some people 'think' they can benefits from it'. Are you saying that they lie if they say so?

That's what you get for trying to "discuss" it with someone who is just
trolling. Otherwise he would have realized that you answered his
question to begin with. To avoid shifting the front derailleur in
critical race conditions. Could be an important consideration for some
people.
