That's exactly what I'm talking about, Drew….stuff with lots of odd shape
roots and rocks, lunges, weird shit where you're grinding away and need a
quick rachet or backpedal to clear an obstacle. maybe those kinds of trails
are going away, or maybe I just find myself on them more often, but I cannot
trust any expanded cog setup to not derail and leave me standing beside my
bike pushing as every single one has done that to me in those situations….
I actually like the thinking of the larger cog to allow for a bigger front
chainring as my other big complaint about 1x is lack of top end speed and
being forced to coast everywhere….but the chainline thing will keep me away
from this too likely.
