Newboy Posted February 5, 2014 Share I am looking to upgrade my Santa Cruz LTc to 1x11. I do mostly ride marathon and and stage racing. Epic again this year. What size chainring would you recommend? I am thinking 32 or 34. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested out some Specialized bikes over the weekend with 1x11 groupsets, and I would personally go for the 34 teeth... Marius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted February 5, 2014 Share yeah, I'm running the 1x11 on a 34t and it's perfect for climbing / real mtb'ing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted February 5, 2014 Share Thanks. I am leaning towards the 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyluis Posted February 5, 2014 Share For Epic? Go 32t. Firemeister 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_David_ Posted February 5, 2014 Share Ariane Kleinhans on twitter after Attakwas: "Shaken off last doubts re SRAMmtb XX1 today. With 32 chainring I had the perfect gearing for @attakwas Simpler is just better." Edited February 5, 2014 by d@vid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Cremer Posted February 5, 2014 Share Don't get just one size, I have 32,34 and 36 tooth rings for different types of terrain. I would not easily take Mankele, Sabie, etc. with anything bigger than 32. For flat races a 36 can work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
