Chain suck, remember that! Both you guys are right about 1x systems being
beneficial for beginner riders. Until they face a long grind.Too bad all the
mid level bikes coming out in 2015 are 2x.
To me the pedal drive-train evolution should be in the front, its always been
problematic. But mostly on downhills. So far the advances have been to add a
cog on the cassette. Its time for something really innovative. Its past time
to innovate this vital bicycle component, the front transmission. If we want
to go faster, further, steeper that is the key. We don't want to compromise do
we.
