Looking at my bike shopping for 2022, and I've come to the realization that maybe sticking with Shimano 10sp is going to simplify most of my fleet:
- eCommuter: currently 1x10
- Drop bar rd: currently 3x10 (likely replace with a new bike in 2022 with GRX 2x10)
- Flat bar rd: currently 3x10
- Mtb hardtail: currently 2x9
- Mtb trail: currently 1x11 (replacing with a Scott Spark 960 with Shimano XTd 1x12)
Apart from the mtb trail, which is being replaced with a 1x12 bike, it makes sense for the other bikes to all be 10sp drivelines, then I can keep spare chains and links readily available.
Has anyone else settled on 10sp drive-trains for their general road bikes?
