Back to 2x on the cross bike. If pros can manage to race cross with a 2x setup, I ought to be able to set it up reliable enough to ride. I just got tired of riding in Umstead up Turkey Steep in a 40/32. Also, downhills in the 40/12 weren't really working out great either. Now I can even out my effort in there more and have a comfier cadence.

New setup is 11-32 and 50/34. So 34/32 slowest. I had an R800 clutch RD sitting around so used that. Upgraded from 10 to 11spd with some used but newish 5800 shifters. Sweet.

The Crockett has a built in small ring chain drop dealio so didn't need to "fix" anything there. Test ride next.
