Am stock with a 42T x 11-40 9 speed and its a good spread all round although I'd like to have another gear for tackling hills when loaded up. What should I buy? 38T narrow wide right?
Someone was selling a Leonardi general lee on here and I drooled over that for a while might be an option for you, tbh I don't really know too much about them they just look nice.

I want to upgrade the drivetrain on my cargobike.
I've just ordered a Superstar hub so could go 11 speed if I felt like it. I don't know if I really need to though.
Currently I'm running the 5 largest cogs out of a 7 speed cassette on my Hope trials/ss hub with a thumbshifter in friction mode as I have a long run of really shit gear cable and the indexed setting doesn't really work!
Current mech is like a pretty old medium cage 105 so I think that'll need to go, a clutch mech might be nice but I have got a Paul Comp chainkeeper. Actually though, I have to set it up so that the chain is very nearly rubbing the keeper at one end of the cassette at the moment so fitting a wider cassette is only going to make that worse.
Who all has a 1x drivetrain on their cargobike and what derailleur/size cassette you running?
