MaxTBehrens Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 I have recently learned that comic sans is not a widely liked font. I apologize for the.. font. I'll keep that in mind for future reference. Sorry again and thanks for reading!
MaxTBehrens Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 Upon further research, and a fathers guidance, I saw that you loose more or less 7% power at each ends of you cassette when using the 11-36 1x10 setup. I think the single less tooth at the end of the sram cassette might give you that little edge, but with a extender cog, you can make up the granny side of the cassette.For one, I am very happy with my 1x10. Thank you all for reading and your replies.

At the granny end, 42t is 14% shorter ( easier) than 36t
Hairy Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Mmmmmm I don't know about worth it or necessary but surely one of the big drawcards of the SRAM 11 speed is the 10-42 cassette? That provides a larger spread not only on the easy side which is what most are able to achieve these days pretty easy with a 10sp .....what you say here is very valid. Just gone from a 11t / 34t to a 12t / 36t cassette and the additional tooth hads really taken off some top end speed on my 1x9 setup!
Martin PJ Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I have 34 in front, 11-36 at back - this does the job. I would say with the addition of 42 big cog and a 16 replacement for the 15/17, I would never need 11 speed. Not worth the cost, rather upgrade the brakes or pay for some race. If I wanted more top end speed, I would then be able to put 36 in front.
Hairy Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Stop riding on tar with your MTB!!!!FFSI use the big chain ring on the st decents when riding the trail bike running a 3x9spd.....think of trails like cobra at hoogies and conters st
shaper Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Here aan article that explains everything, especially with the loss of top end speed and if you are more into XC racing than trail riding then consider a bigger front ring for this on a 1x10 setup with extender cog. http://blog.artscyclery.com/science-behind-the-magic/1x10-extended-range-gearing/
