One thing i like about a 2x setup is getting to the top of a climb then
pushing the front shifter and then getting the same gearing as i have on my dh
bike. One shifter click and its a 10 tooth difference 24/34. Another positive
for 2x is on little undulations of terrain its so easy to gain a little, big
ring boost with the slightest downhill then switch right back to the gear you
were just grinding away in.
Don't get me wrong, I have and hate my drive train issues, i'm still clutch-
less 9 spd back there. But the cost of the 11spd/10 spd-hack parts and down
time to install them (and get it right) just doesn't turn my crank, right now.
I like the simple option you put forward here of 28 tooth ring. But for me it
just don't sing. I believe it would limit my max Dh speed too much, on the
trail and on the street.
