  • This 1x trend is so silly.

    What, is any, are the benefits of moving to a single ring up-front?

    I did it to my TT bike. It's faster, no brainer.
    For CX racing, it makes sense.

    For normal road riding I don't know what the advantage is. You get heavier setup, worse chainline and save the cost of an FD and chainring (which you then probably lose buying all the 1x shit)

    But I agree (with you); triple is where it's at.

  • gramming ops?

    If I wasn't getting the shifters/brakes so cheap, I probably wouldn't but it's the hydro brakes drawing me in.

    That said I've been riding my CX bike on the road for 6 months with a 11-32 and I've never missed two up front.

    p.p.s. Isn't the 1 gear trend a bit silly?

  • Especially when full synchro shift removes the need to worry about which chainring you are in.
