taito Posted December 4, 2013 Share I have a scott 910 that now comes with a 2 blade front set up,after riding 3 blade on my expert I find it quite hard to adapt. Any simular stories--.I feel the ratio drop between big blade and small blade is very big and that the climbing gear is just to hard compared with the old donkey gear. Im a small rider, Shimano gearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messier87 Posted December 4, 2013 Share I had a similar experience, but don't regret the move. I've learned to change gears more consciously of the big difference up front.The granny gear is more ability/power related and if you find that you just do not have enough gears you could change it to more suitable ratios. I found that I got used to it. In my case the difference wasn't too big though as my cluster does have a rather forgiving granny gear. Maybe do an exercise on your gear rations and see how it compares with other bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadonis Posted December 4, 2013 Share Hi I had the same experience, you will Get stronger and you won't need the granny I promise. it takes some time to adjust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee_biker Posted December 4, 2013 Share I moved from a 44-32-24 front and 36-11 back to a 40-26 front and 36-11 back. Made me a much stronger rider. Are you struggling with the "granny gear". I've had some friends switch to a 38-24. It is quite a big difference in size of blades front, but like someone said, learn to use the full range of that 36-11 and anticipate when to be in large / small ring front. I absolutely love the 2 blades front and will in future (as I get stronger) even consider the 1x11 option of SRAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
