Drivetrain question...
What are the respective advantages and disadvantages of 1x vs 2x for cross?
I'm currently running SRAM Rival 22 on my cross bike, because that's what it came with, but I don't think I've ever used the large chainring and certainly never used it during cross. Also, during a pretty muddy race at Palmer Park this weekend I felt that the FD was acting as a mud catcher and contributed to my rear wheel seizing up at one point... I'm therefore thinking of dropping down to 1x. Will I regret it?
