Hey Andrew…great read…super informative for someone like me that’s still learning.
So as I read (and as you noted in the above response)…like most MTBer’s that aren’t racing, I WAAAAY more often find myself in the lower half of my cassette than the upper half. That being the case, stands to reason (if I’m understanding this correctly) that I should favor the 49mm chainline for my lower gears…right? Wouldn’t that simply entail switching out my ring from a 3mm offset (ie, boost) to a 6mm offset (non-boost)?
