Not for me - setting my wife's bike. She's not going to be hitting the chaingangs anytime soon but has said she'd like to try cross racing next season so figure 1x setup is best. The bike will be used for road/cross/gravel.
I'm still pretty happy with my 36t and roadlink setup. One downside is that I find sometimes getting the right cadence can be a little bit of a pain as the jumps are bigger between cogs. I don't really notice it that often, though
Yeah, I know what you mean, it's why I choose the lowest spread when racing I can get away with. Having a good cadence range helps. I can still spin these tree trunks up when I want to.
I certainly notice grinding up 25% at 30rpm more these days so happy I switched to a 28T on the Tarmac.
