  • Looking into 1x11 for a new build and I've been reading up on GRX RX810. It looks good, but wanted to find out what people were running and to get some feedback before I buy.

    Also, I want to keep my current wheel set, a pair of XR31T's built onto Hope RS4 Centrelock disc hubs. Will I have any issues running something like 11-42 on those?

    Thanks

  • If you want to run 1x there isn't a lot of choice. I run SRAM Apex 1 just because it came on the bike and still not fell apart and I hate the big swoop shifting action in Shimano. GRX 810 seems like a solid choice, but if you do lots of road miles 1x could feel limiting.

    There is. Just put a narrow wide chainring on, get the chain length right and you're good to go.

  • Thanks for this. I’m slightly in two minds about the 1x, but leaning that way at the moment. I like the idea of keeping things simple and this bike won’t be used for long road miles.
