Hi all,
I am toying with the idea of converting my 3x10 Merida trail hardtail to a 1x setup. I am relatively new back into bikes, i.e. had a space of quite a few year, and my fitness is still not up to a fantastic level as well as gaining confidence and skills slowly.
I am moderately capable of using the crankset gears and the granny gear has got me up a few hills so I am worried about limiting myself to a 30t on front and 42t on the back compared to the current 24t-36t.
I am attacted by the simplicity of a 1x system though.
