If I go from 39-26t to 42-28t on the front.

The reason for the q is driven by price! £20 price difference between the two.

You’ll need to pedal a bit harder.

Only if your winching up something slower than walking pace.
Might as well go 1×10.

its nothing your legs wont adapt to in a couple of weeks or so.

With more teeth your smile will be bigger…your jaw line may take a few weeks to adapt to the larger number of teeth and your bite may feel strange until you adjust to the new settings…otherwise…not much difference!

This made me lol. I was thinking of 1×10, but not sure how id cope. I like having the big ring sometimes for a bit of power instead of spinning out.

Not ideal…without a lower set of teeth you won’t be able to chew your food…
