Headshot Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Lol, you are 100% right. But what happens when you go 1x10 is that you adjust your technique because you dont have a bail out gear like you used to. This requires more effort and better technique like moving forward on the seat to retain traction etc. You get fitter and stronger as a result. In other words I am less lazy with the 1x10 than I was with 2x10. Thats all.

I'm getting both 36 and 32 rings with my new cranks soon, going to be paired to an 11-36t. Initially I was full of bravado when ordering the 36 in addition to the standard 32, but a ride in Jonkers last weekend worried me a bit, so at the moment I'm thinking that I'm going to keep the 32 and sell the 36t (both XX1). Swopping them to suit what I'm mostly doing is an option, but then I might as well have kept my 3 ring setup!

Headshot Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 You don't need to get a 1x1 to have the petrol head vibe with your bike. Mine has stickers, 1x10 and a new seat to prove it...
