I'm torn on this right now. I **personally** find a 34 in the front combined with a 42 in the back is more than enough on a 650b wheel (except for maybe the steepest and longest Chilcotin climbs). Do you think SRAM is going to offer 12 speed options? eg. Could I get a 10-42 twelve speed cassette? Or will that stick around with their 11 speed offering? Will 11 speed disappear? Maybe I should just hold onto my 26", 2x, anti-enduro machine for another year. I find I get decision anxiety from all this.
