Operation 1x1 Commuter continues with more procurement today.
Tackling the spinny gearing. Am currently running 32x17 on knobblies which is a good gear for off road but absolutely pants on road, let alone once I have slicks on!
I’ve gone for a 38t chainring, keeping the 17t in the back as it’s a White Industries freehub. I’m running an XT M8000 crankset which has a weird bolt pattern, leaving choices limited in aftermarket parts but I’m hoping that gear will do for pretty relaxed hilly commuting - time will tell!
EDIT 03/03/19:
It’s now arrived! Will be fitting it later on if the chain’s long enough!
