I get asked this a lot but ive never had an issue with dropping chains on any of my 1x9 setups. are you running a track crank and bb or road with a single ring? might be an issue with chain line?

I didn't realize these Kleins had such funky dropouts. It seems like it would make wheel removal/install more of a hassle. Anyway, looks like it's gonna be awesome!

Love seeing these built up somewhat modern. They can actually pull it off. Klein paint jobs are always nice!
