I don't understand the fuss. I had a 12 speed setup in the 90's. 2 x 6...

But did it have a disk size 50 tooth sprocket?

 

You raise a good point, wonder why no one ever marketed 1 x 12 with dinner plate size sprockets before......

Don't do it, the mountains have not changed gradient and unlikely to in our lifetimes.

 

The only thing that's changing are the sales gimmicks.... Sorry gimmicks might be a bit harsh, there are some exceptional new products nowadays... Just not convinced that going from 27 or 22 gears to 12 is progress

27 gears is not really 27 gears it's more like 14 or 15.

 

Multiple chain rings is the biggest gimmick the industry has sold us for decades

Why dont they ride tge TdF on 1x gruppos, if it offers such a big advantage?

Hi Rudi

 

Are you happy with the oval 34T, how is your experience with it?

Very happy with it. You get used to the ring very quickly and I definitely have more traction on technical climbs

14 or 15 still beats 12
