What does the RD look like on the 11t cog? Almost looks like you could lose a link or two. Cool setup, Nick.
I considered a 1x, but I've grown to appreciate the small gear jumps offered with a 2x ultra compact. |

i wouldnt have gone 1x if this frame were not designed specifically for it (no braze ons for FD cables) i do think it's going to work out OK though. i dont really ever need the top end speed, and now i have a lower than 1:1 for climbing the nasty stuff.

Are you seriously spinning out in your biggest gear? A 50x11 at 90rpm cadence puts you at 32mph! Dang.

a 38x11 will get you to 27+mph at 100rpms, a 38x12 will do 25+. if i were to choose a road ring size that would remain friendly for dirt rides, a 42t in the front. |

How's the gear spacing with the 11-40? I would like to run this since it will easily fit my wheelset, but a I would rather run an 11-32 or 11-36 on the road.

Yup

Not sure I qualified my previous post, I don't spin out, but in a world of "marginal" gains its nice to have something in your pocket when you need it. I was really commenting more about the small ring Angry is running, I would definitely run out of gear on that with the groups I ride with. Ray |

I dont know what that means for Campy though, its probably in the owners manual not to get dirt on it |
