Has anyone had experience switching from a 2x drivetrain to 1x? Other than less shifting options, are there any considerable negatives to making the change?
I live and race in Florida, where I have rarely used the small chainring due to riding in flat roads most of the time. I have been looking to get a shorter crankset and now seems like a good time to just switch to 1x; I am less concerned about aero and weight benefits than I am of having a simpler set up and easier clean up. If I rarely use the small chainring, is there any reason not to switch?
