Velouria Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 For the 36One and finally deciding to try out the (one by)....in this case 1x12.... what would you guys say? A 32 or a 34 chainwheel up front for this kinda terrain? 10-50 T cassette The last 2 years I've done it on a 2x11 with a 38 on the front and a 9-46 and not needed the smaller chain ring on the front. There are plenty of sections where a bigger chain ring helps, and a 10-50 should be more than enough! I say 34! Hmmmm, team title up for grabs then Yup - it is. Speak to Kevin and get yourselves organised. I suspect there are a couple of people eyeing that title! TrailWarrior 1
TrailWarrior Posted December 8, 2018 Author Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Happy with 32 on 1x12 and 11/50. WELL THEN Dogs! Maybe there is a chance you and I should get together 2019 36One and ride this beast....maybe get a couple of others to join the bus too..... Still undecided on this 32 or 34....but give it some time... Edited December 8, 2018 by TrailWarrior Dogs 1

sudraka Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 For the 36One and finally deciding to try out the (one by)....in this case 1x12.... what would you guys say? A 32 or a 34 chainwheel up front for this kinda terrain? 10-50 T cassette I did my first 36ONE on a 1x11 32T in the front and 11-42 at the back ... I managed to place about 150th or thereabouts... was tough. This year I am using a 1x11 34T in the front and 11-46 at the back. Should be better. Not gonna change sprockets and cassettes just for this one event. Unless you planning to win? plan you stops, nutrition etc better than worrying too much about bike setup. I underestimated the cold by a huge margin and froze my butt off! EmptyB and TrailWarrior 2
Grease_Monkey Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 For the 36One and finally deciding to try out the (one by)....in this case 1x12.... what would you guys say? A 32 or a 34 chainwheel up front for this kinda terrain? 10-50 T cassetteI'd go 32. If you have an XD driver with 10t (10-50t or 10-42t) cassette you will have enough top end. I know the guy that came third last year runs a 32t with Sram GX Eagle 10-50t. He recons you don't spend enough time at high speeds to justify a 34t, but you do wanna be able to recover on climbs with the 32t. If a 32t gives enough top end for him it will surely give enough for the rest of the field? If you are using an 11-42/46/50t cassette then obviously ignore above comment. A 32 on that cassette spins out fast. TrailWarrior 1
GAP Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Broke my collarbone in a mtb race 3 weeks ago "faaaak", on the spinning bike just keep the legs going, but can't put the big km in just yet, Frustrated big time. TrailWarrior 1
TrailWarrior Posted March 15, 2019 Author Posted March 15, 2019 Broke my collarbone in a mtb race 3 weeks ago "faaaak", on the spinning bike just keep the legs going, but can't put the big km in just yet, Frustrated big time. Don't always need the 'big km' GAP. Work on getting healed and work on interval training sets. If you do them properly, you will be strong to go! Trust me. Good luck with the recovery and healing! fanievb 1

GAP Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Went for my six week check-up today (broken collarbone), bone has knitted nice, just need to go for a few physio sessions. Will start riding on the road the weekend, start slowly and feel it out then build up some distance, still going strong on the IDT. 36one is still on the cards.
