Today’s update...
Hope RX cranks are probably a little speedy right now and with a max 44T direct mount don’t give me the gearing I want. Think I might keep an eye out for some Dura Ace arms on eBay which I think I can get for about £250 new. Then I’ll use my newly acquired 50T chainring. For now it’ll go on my Ultegra.
Purchases:
Wolf tooth 50T + Blue Bolts (matchy matchy but £24!!)
XT 11-40
Xtr Chain
50 x 11-40 gives me almost exactly the same gear range as my current 52/36 x 11-34. I lose 1 off the top and 1 off the bottom only.
