chain dropping

That's interesting, I'd think that with one chainring in front you'd be spared a chain ever falling off again.

That's what I thought too! Then I started researching what I needed to change the chainring on my commuter bike. The OEM guard of course wasn't suitable.

1x9 (and other cassette sizes) gearing is apparently popular on cyclocross bikes. Those riders "talk" a lot about needing guards.

Ah, I wish I had asked this before I decided on 10 speed. I also thought I'd never drop a chain on this bike, due to the single ring. Who knew?!

Thanks for all the input.
