Hello, I currently own a plasma 5, with mechanical sram red 11s (bits of shimano in there : chain, cassette).
I am looking to upgrade it to either shimano or sram, but I want to be able to swap extensions easily / easy maintenance and therefore I lean toward Sram Etap (wireless, no internal routing).
I was thinking of using mostly rival components, red etap crankset (huge weight diff for this one) and only have one chainring and no front derailer, and only blips to avoid the 400€ blipbox
My question is the following : I heard that Sram ETAP was inefficient, is there any measurement for it ? I don't care if I am loosing 1 w on the flat and 3-5 on the climbs because of chain crossing, but I do not want to loose 10.
Are there any recommendations for the choice of cassette or chainrings size ? I see that the biggest aero chainring is 50T
Thank you very much for your help.
