I'm moving to 1x11 on my trail bike, and was wondering how it would go on my commuter?
Can someone with more brains than me tell me how the ratios would compare with my 44t front and 11-36t rear? I do run a middle ring (32) also, but use it very rarely. I spend most of my commutes in the bottom three cogs at the rear and on the 44 at the front.
The biggest ring I can run on the X01 is 38t and the smallest on the cassette is 10, so mostly interested in how much top end I'd give up.
Thanks.
PS, the bike is currently 26 inch but moving to 650b real soon, if that makes a difference.
