Anyone Convert 1x to 2x? Jamis Renegade S2
Last month bought the S2 as my first gravel bike. I come from a road bike background. I love the bike overall, especially the handling, road feel and all day comfort'of the design
I am riding a blend of 70% tarmac and 30 gravel trail.
Overall the gravel thing js definitely a change of mind set, gear and riding approach, almost all for the better. For example, disc brakes suprised me- NOT a gimmick, they are a big step forward.
BUT the one thing I just don't like and cant get used to is the 1x thing. I miss the close ratios on the road and quick shifts between front chain ring "modes".
So has anyone swapped 1x to 2x?
how hard is it?
I guess its replacing the left brifter, cranks, chain ring and cassette? Has anyone done it themselves? Or have you leave it to the pros at the LBS?
Chain also needs replacing?
Bottom bracket?
