• I just trashed my rd… what’s the current thinking on groupsets for cx?

    I’ve got a focus mares cx and am currently on an old version of sram rival (hydraulic disc).

    I’m thinking I want to swap to shimano for consistency with my other bikes. Looking for 11sp, hydraulic disc, probably 1x (I’ve literally never used my big chainring on my cross bike 😭). Other than that I probably want the cheapest option out there.

    I’m guessing grx is the best bet, do they have a 105/rival equivalent? I’ve not really followed recent tech so is there anything else i need to worry about?

  • I have Grx 2x in mechanical on my focus mares canti, and 1x in di2 on another bike and i must say the shifting is really good in both cases, with or without clutch engaged.

    It is a well known fact but i find shifting smoother than sram 1x.
