1x11 drivetain on long trips
Hey,
I change some of parts now and considering few scenarios - use cx/gravel bike as all-in-one, do not race anymore, but sometimes like ride faster.
And... what do you thing about 1x drivetain (in my case, 1x11) for long trips, i.e. 200 km or more per day?
For example 42T + 11-40T, 250 km trip, non-mountains. Such cassete will have bigger cogs jumps (minumum 2 vs 1 on cassete like 11-25 or 11-28).. but six first cogs on such cassete will be the same as on 11-34 (HG700/HG800) so probably it doesn't matter that we will use wider or narrower.
Of course, there will be more differences in comparsion to 2x, for example 48/32 or 50/34 with for example cassete 11-28.
But, I'm interested in your opinion, and I never tried that before - what do you thing about traveling on 1x? I do not mean bike-packing, because I like one day trips with minimal equipment only.
