• For a gravelpacking bike that’ll also be a audax/club run road bike, would the hive mind go 1x with the long rear mech, or 2x with a long rear mech? I don’t have enough room for a third bike, so I’m looking to build something that’ll replace my audax bike but that can handle reasonably bad terrain. The alternative is to lose my fixie but I like it too much for commuting/training.

  • I have 1x11 on my winter bike / tourer / occasional off-roader. 44t with 11-36.

    Occasionally run out of gearing going downhill, and can be a bit tricky sprinting for the town sign at the end of the club run but otherwise all good.

  • Oh, nice bike. How do you find the comfort on the Mason? They intrigue the hell out of me.
