I've got a very climby gravel event coming up in May. So, I'm trying to 'gravelify' my cross bike/not die on what's essentially a mountain bike course.
Basically, I need some tyres bigger than 33s and a better range of gears than 42-34. I could go back to 2X but I remember SRAM front mechs jamming up the minute there was a hint of mud.
I'm looking for:
A 38t or 40t chainring, 5 bolt, compatible with Force 22 cranks (110BCD, I think) – I'd love a SRAM CX1 but they seem to be rare as anything in this size.
A long cage rear 1x SRAM rear mech for the 11-42 cassette I'm picking up later this week.
Some mixed use gravel/cross tyes in 35-38, think Terrano mix, Grifo, Gravelking EXT etc.
Has anyone got anything?
Cheers,
