Hello fellow forum friends.
Currently running a 1x10 shimano xt drivetrain with a 11-34t cog on the rear. (Giant trance 27.5 2)
My question is how much of a difference a 36 cog would be.
My fitness is pretty good and if I get out of the saddle I can pretty much chug up anything.
If I chuck a 11-36 cassette on how much difference would there be in the 34 vs 36???
Or is it a bit of a waste of money if I can chug up currently?
Would like to stay in the saddle for longer on climbs, don't want to change the front (32NW raceface single), and don't really want to spend all the money to sram x1 currently.
I also am not really interested in putting in one of those 42's.
