  • I think the only thing you might struggle with and want 2x is the bike packing and going up hills loaded, if you're already OK with standing up and smashing up hills then you'll be fine, if you're like me and crawl up them in a spinny gear then you might want to go 2x.

  • If you intend to sometimes use it a bit like a road bike, the jumps between gears will be more of a problem with 1x 11-42t than the gearing capacity.

  • Yeah. Or spinning out on the descents if using a 40t chainring..?

    You don't need to pedal on descents.
