Cool.
Don't think there would be much in it, in the real world. Their measurements are basically the same.
Although some people profess to hate one and love the other.

Will get some 40s and 42s to try out over winter.

What's the boardman for, beyond commuting? Rings are small for road and big for cyclocross no?

Rings- yeah, not great in terms of ratios available, that is why I am swapping them to 46/36 with (probably) a 12-27 block.

That would mean I could swap the Apex mech out for (say) a Rival short cage that would make the shifting a bit snappier.

It was bought as something to use for light CX -for example I would like to end-to-end the South Downs way, probably next year now- and possibly some CX racing, but the majority of it's miles were intending to be, and have been, as a winter/poor weather bike.

It's a heavy old Horace, but when it works, it works well.
