The OP is thinking about switching from 2x9 to 2x11 with brifters. If you want to do it because you can afford it and you think it will make you happy, go for it
If you want to do it because it will make your bike look more contemporary and that appeals to you, go for it If you want to do it because it will make you ride more or ride harder and that will improve your fitness and speed, go for it If you want to do it because it will instantly make you faster, without requiring you to train smarter or improve your fitness, then prepare to be disappointed. Your proposed drivetrain change won’t change how fast you ride. It’s up to you to decide how fast you are going to ride. If 2x11 helps convince you to commit to riding faster, then I’m sure you can do it.
