Isn’t 1x as simple as not fitting a FD and then maybe adding either a chain catcher and/or swapping front chain ring for a 1x specific one with wide-narrow teeth? Not saying it wouldn’t be nice for Shimano to officially support it, but lots of people have been running Shimano components in a 1x setu…

[image] ABG: And no power meter That, the ill-fated Shimano PM, Hollowtech & crank arm power metros, and Quarq’s reputation are why I went SRAM in 2021. Really haven’t looked back. Both Shimano and SRAM are good transmissions. I’d be happy with either, and if I had Shimano then would go with…

Haven’t read all the details, but watched Ben Delany’s review and turned it off when it got to the gearing. Smallest cog is 11 tooth and 48x31 is the biggest up front. Also, it might just be because he was on sand and working a camera, but that front derailleur button on the hood looked very hard to…

[image] Pbase: Smallest cog is 11 tooth and 48x31 is the biggest up front What do you see as the problem there? It is the same as the 11-s gen with one exception I’ll mention next. I run the 2x11s version with the 48/31 crank, but I swapped in a SRAM 11-36 cassette. Doing that gives a gre…

Does SRAM offer a GR-OAD gearing that hits what you want directly, or does it take some mixing between their offerings? I get lost in what they offer straight vs what can be mixed. I guess you could look for a road crank or swap chainrings (assuming some get offered in larger sizes) for the Shim s…

Yeah, a 46x10 will give you a bigger gear than a 48x11, and my current roadie is 52x11 and I spin it out sometimes. Granted, 46x10 is smaller than 52x11 too, but closer.

[image] Junk_Miles: I don’t think it’s this at all. It’s that SRAM has patents around their batteries. So it forces their hand. Maybe. SRAM likewise has had to design around patents, e. g. when it comes to front shifting. Patents are a fact of life, and Shimano should find some engineering so…

Yeah, you can (with limits) always mix and match things, but that’s kind of outside the discussion of “what do you get from this new group set”.

In my case, I’m often riding 30% or more tarmac on a gravel ride, and I’m considering buying a bike that can be both my road and gravel bike when traveling with 2 sets of wheels. I want the bigger gears.
