Awesome headline photo! I would be framing that.
Can we talk about 32t chainrings and super wide 12 speed cassettes? Who uses all of these gears on trail? I live in SoCal and never use the bottom 1/3rd of my cassette on trail. It's winch and descend. I'm carrying around a huge 51 tooth cassette because of ridiculous gearing. It's just extra unsprung weight and rotational mass.
The smallest chainring I can run according to my frame manufacturer is a 28th. I would love to run a super small chainring up front (one more reason to buy a high pivot bike) and a small light 9 speed cassette in the rear. Has anyone tried this?
