Along another train of thought: Have others found it hard to get both sufficient range and comfortable steps with even 12-speed 1Xs?
I usually aim for comfortable steps instead of widest range but I get 14 sufficiently distinct and usable gears on the custom 2X10 on the Matthews dirt road bike with a 91” to 29” in range with the Thunderburt wheelset; and, with, very important, 1-tooth steps in the extended cruising range. In fact, accepting slightly bigger jumps in the gears above 80” and below 60”, I could probably get a low 20s low gear, but I don’t do loaded touring or 100 mile mountain rides. 11-speed could get me below 25” with no sacrifice (well, except I couldn’t use the lovely DA 7402 rd). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
