I’m thinking about upgrading my budget bike from 1x10 / combo to less modest GX/Force 1x12… I’ve got a guilty conscience because of the price…🤡🤣 Should I?🤣 @cycling @rower

I just noticed your post had the shopping list. Lol it’s almost a match for mine!? Im on a 1x11 42 -10 with a 50T up front. Got for it mate

@boardmad My chainring is 34t oval on Deore crankset with SLX power meter left arm…😂 It’s gonna climb the steepest things!😂🙈 @cycling @rower

I’ve ridden a mullet setup on my road bike for the last three years with a SRAM AXS eTap setup Seb and am a huge fan. Have had zero issues and it handles everything I’ve thrown at it. Would recommend.

@boardmad Well, I’m excited to say I made the purchase! Can’t wait to put it on my gravel bike and trash it in the mud…🙉 I also decided to swap my 34t chainring to 38t. I can’t imagine the scenario I’d need 34 by 50…😂 @cycling @rower

@ssamulczyk @boardmad @cycling @rower mine goes down to 24/36 and I love it :-)

@nickzoic Well, I was getting along with 34/42 on all the climbs I’ve been to. 34/50 would be an overkill, and my pedaling top speed was quite low. 38/50 is still easier than I’ve had it before…🤷🏻‍♂️ @boardmad @cycling @rower

Sorry Seb let me clarify I’m running 50 up front with a 42-11 cassette but my primary use is on road

@boardmad Ugh, that’s to hard on my legs. I mostly ride in my flat region, but on occasions I go the the mountains to do some climbing. Now with the growing family I can only afforded take one of my bikes. So it is gravel, because it’s more universal, therefore the gearing…🥰@nickzoic @cycling @rower

@ssamulczyk @boardmad @cycling @rower Ah, well, I'm old and fat and it's hilly around here.

My favourite thing about bikes and their gearing is that so many parts are swappable. If you're bumping into the top all the time move things up and if you're bumping into the bottom move them down. I don't use the lowest of the low gears very often but I use the 48/11 even more rarely, though it's nice when it happens 🙂

@ssamulczyk @cycling @rower If you want to and can afford it, then why not? Might look at new bike with the same groupset too.

@QRSS_Test I can afford it, but there’s wife to consult the budget…🤣 The bike has a unique setup and it would cost even more to build it again to the specs. It has mullet drivetrain (mbt cranks, GRX, road shifters), 650B wheels with dynamo hub and lights and semi mechanical TRP Spyre disc brakes (on purpose, no bleeding)… It’s almost impossible to buy something like that of the shelf…🤷🏻‍♂️ @cycling @rower

@ssamulczyk @cycling @rower Cool, I hope your chief financial officer approves your project budget. 😁

@ssamulczyk @cycling @rower Nice ride. I can see why you would want to upgrade. 🤞for funding!

@ssamulczyk upgrade your bike and park the guilt. There’s always more money available, there won’t always be days where you can ride this new system.
