After 10 years I think it’s time to replace my 3*9 shimano lx groupset (running 2*9).
I see the trend for 1x groupset and not entirely sure if they would be right for me.
I’m more of a bike packing bimbiler than trail centre endoooooro gnar merchant and planning the WHW, South Lakes 100, and possibly French Divide route for the summer.
Bike is a short travel 29″ full suss and I am fairly smooth spinner and use the 22(or24)*36 more than I ought to admit.
So should I go for the 1x groupset or the old faithful 2x set up? Mildly concerned if I went 1x I’d miss the granny ring on some long laiden hills…
