in response to the 1x possibilities:
- Does this crankset have a 1x option? I’m not seeing it.
- I have a really hard time imagining 1x with a 11t smallest cog.
I’m on a 50x10-33 on my TT bike and I squeak by on steep uphills and spin out on steep downhills. I still prefer it to 2x. I could see myself
On my road bike, I ride 46x9-39 and in an idea world, I’d have Ekar 13s for 47x9-42. , or just toss on an XPLR 10-44 cassette with a 52t chainring…
I’d need a 58t chainring for an 11s rear cog and a 36t rear cog just wouldn’t cut it. Would need a 39. So, I guess I’m just not seeing a real 1x Di2 option. Seems Shimano will stick to 2x for road in the same way they stick with their 24mm bb spindle.
