I'm just curious to know what size/T combination of chainring and cassette riders on the NorthShore are running on their 1x system. It would be helpful if you also shared your wheel size and travel. Thanks.

Enduro 29er. 150mm travel both ends. 11-42 One-up'd, 30t up front. This was awesome all last season - it's just about worn out and I'm going to replace it with the same. Though I might try one of those oval chainrings.

There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.

30 X 10-42 on my hardtail 29er.

Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.

How do you know?

I've often wondered how bike manufacturers measure rear travel.

^good question. effective vertical travel or distance the axle travels along the wheelpath (ie, circumference along an arc). not that it makes a huge difference, but curious if there's a standard. ask dave?
