My winter project has been to gravelize my Dekerf Team HT, with a mix new parts (Salsa fork, 650 wheelset and gravel tires) and old. The drivetrain is a relatively unused XT 780 2x10 with 36-24 rings, 11-32 cogs, saved after going 1x on another older bike. A couple of bike path test rides before winter returned to Alberta 10 days ago confirmed my decision to go with the 2 x10- crisp changes on the FD and a wide range without spinning out (at least so far). I would never go back to 2x on the MTB, though.
