Headshot Posted October 7, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyTrailRider Posted October 7, 2013 Share The 36 deffo looks good with 29 er wheels - dont go any smaller in the front. 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divernick Posted October 7, 2013 Share What he said ;-) Everybody should own an SS in their life! Its the bicycle equvalent of Alfas and Petrolheads! My SS is the furthest thing from an Alfa. It doesn't break down, parts are not "unavailable" and the build quality is awesome! Headshot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted October 7, 2013 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
