Good morning I know this has probably been asked before, but cant seem to find the info, I was hoping to get some information from you guys regarding kit choice for the cape epic, now I know it is very rider specific with regards to fit and comfort. But we are looking at making custom kit for the event, especially the jerseys, on the bib side we are not to worried to have that custom, plain black will do. Who would you guys recommend for custom jerseys and what would be the top 3 best bibs to buy for an event like this? obviously with comfort and quality in mind, we don't mind spending a little extra on bibs. Thanx in advance!

I think I will go for the 36t, my father in law is on a 1 x 12, 38t in front and he is very happy with it, except for when he did the wine2whales about 2 years ago, he said he could have done with a 36t in front.

I do agree, the 34 on the front is just to small, i was actually thinking of getting a 36 or 38 tooth for the front.

Hi Guys. that was my thinking as well. Thanks for the comments, will definitely give it a shot and will also look into the oval chainrings.

HI Guys I currently have a 2 x 11 xt setup on my bike 11 x 42 for cassette and 34 x 24 on the front. My bigger chainring is due for replacement an I have been thinking that I never used my smaller chainring, will it work to just remove the smaller chainring and the derailleur to have a 1 x 11 setup? and then buy a 1 x 11 specific chainring to convert to 1 x 11? Or isnt it as simple as that?
