Trek gearing:
Originally the domane comes with full MAMIL crawler gear. 34-32. It is so slow that I frequently found myself in the next gear up (28) or worse still cross-chaining 50-32 up most of the hills in south London.
Initially I decided to switch the set up to 1x with something like a 46: 11-40. The logic being that no front deraileur would reduce the chance of chain drops on the flandrian cobbles. Wolf tooth have a chainring designed to fit the Shimano 4 bolt design and the long cage 105 rear deraileur could take a big cassette if a wolf tooth road link.
