NP, And I agree that search can be useless sometimes. My take on 1x is its great for mt. biking where there might be a lot of quick occurring ups and downs with a lot of shifting. I have 2 mt. bikes with 1X and find I shift a lot more often than on my road or gravel bikes. I'm not a fan of 1X on the road as I prefer much tighter gearing than whats typical on a 11-46 or 11-50 mt. cassette. My road bikes are 14-28 (34/50 crank) or 12-25 (30/46 crank). I get away with this as I'm on Long Island where its mostly flat. Even our local north shore hills are doable with the gearing I have. I do use my gravel wheels for upstate, its an 11-34. I really do like those one tooth gears though, really nice for rollers and when its windy (we get a lot of wind).
