Nederlander low gear innovation
We usually advise 'follow manufacturer's directions' but in
this case a clever exception shows some promise: https://bikerumor.com/2020/02/07/how...ullet-gearing/ -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Um... why? - Frank Krygowski Frank, you are old enough to remember the advent of the 10 speed, English Racing Bike, way back there in pre-recorded history. Well, as the article explains history has revived the ten speed... albeit for a bit more money :-) ( Who says that the add guys aren't doing their job? :-) -- cheers, John B. |

They have been hypnotized by clever marketing -- although 1X has clearly trickled-down too far with some low-end 1X gravel bikes that will see very little gravel riding. They will just be road bikes with big steps between gears and a ridiculously low-low. My gravel bike gets ridden on a lot of road before I get to the gravel, and I like having two rings and a road-ish gear range with a moderately low low-gear. -- Jay Beattie. |

I can image 1X11 for my aeroad. On that bike I'm never in the small chainring (36T) here on the flats and that bike never sees any serious mountains. For a gravel bike 1x11 seems a poor choice in my opinion. My gravel bike will have a normal 50-34T compact road crankset and I declined the suggested 11-34T cassette. I will put a 14-28T (14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-23-25-28 t) cassette on it. I hate big jumps so this is is a great gearing for me around here. If I plan to go wall climbing I will put a 11-34 cassette on and live with the big jumps and the never used 11-12t sprockets. Lou |

If it has no benefit for you don't buy a 1x11/12 set up. For me it has no benefit so I stay with 2x11 set ups. Why do you say 'if some people 'think' they can benefits from it'. Are you saying that they lie if they say so? Lou |

Otherwise he would have realized that you answered his question to begin with. To avoid shifting the front derailleur in critical race conditions. Could be an important consideration for some people. |
