Christie Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 My take on gearing:1x10 or 11 is for aggressive downhill riding, the podium in XC or marathons, or mtbers who want to look like those who stand on he podium.The only reason a non pro would prefer 1x for general riding for fun, would be mud. But a lot of those people portage or even stay at home if they see mud. If you are looking to spend money to go faster, I would say: coach, power meter, dietitian.

RocknRolla Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 bull****!http://www.safariworkstaxidermysales.com/v/vspfiles/photos/SW1606-2.jpg aahh yes... with enough research any theory can be proven. waveduke 1
GrantRH Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Correct. Yes, there is an academic difference between rotating an translating mass under acceleration, but for a bicycle acceleration is minuscule. The effect is so small that 1kg is effectively 1kg, no matter where you go. The other theories were created by marketers to sell more stuff to, well, how to put it, "less informed" folks with fat wallets. Guilty!
feetup Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 If you wanna blow 15k plus (money no object kinda stuff)go XX1,X1 or XO1.I currently have a Spec Epic comp carbon with Std 2x10 and twisgrips.This what i AM giving myself for Christmas Total cost=2K http://int.oneupcomponents.com/collections/all-products/products/oneup-components-sprockethttp://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/raceface-chainring-single-narrow-wide Med derailleur recommendedNo chain guide needed with RaceFaceNo FD needed too hehehe
arendoog Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 When I want gears I ride my 2 x10 .If not I take the SS .My new bike has very limited space between the crank sprocket and chainstay I can see the potential for chainsuck in the wet .For this reason alone I might change to XX1 .Gears make you lazy ,that why I mostly train with the SS .Going xx1 to save weight is stupid
