So 1x was the plan until I went for a ride with a mate that’s also doing Flanders on his CX/Road Specialized crux with 1x. Basically it seemed like the steps between ratios meant he was never in the right gear. While I’m sure he has the perfect gearing to rocket up the Paterberg, the 100km of fast flat before is probably going to kill him! In the end I decided the best compromise would be to do for 50/36 with a 11-30 cassette
