[i]skip the problems of 9/10/11spd. [/i]
There aren't any as far as I'm aware
Do the xc pros need the extra range provided with a 2by setup? surely they are all ruining 1by??
Reminds me of a nationals where the course designers saw fit to incorporate a gert big steep hill , alot of the riders not running a granny had a right old moan at the riders rep who iirc was none other than mr nick craig.
Who said something along the lines of Well if you werent so obsesed with weight over functionality you would have just used your granny ring.

And Nick is now running 1x11. Funny that...
Exclusively ? You think he wasnt running 2x9 as was fashion back then - and just viewed the course and threw his granny back on ? ( because you could easily)
Im sure a nice 1x 11 xtr di2 wouldnt just be a case of throwing on a granny ring- infact shimano would just make it so out of devilment 🙂
I just don't think that anyone needs more than one chainring on the front (except for some mad extreme marathon fatbike event in the Himalayas or some shit) with the wide range cassettes that are available now. So that point that people might need a granny ring isn't really valid anymore (in my opinion).
Out of interest, where was the course? 🙂
This is pretty much what I ride bikes to get way from. I dread the trickle down.
you know, here's a little secret for you...
If you don't like it, you don't actually have to buy it!
Amazing concept, I know...
mechanical shifters in stock at CRC - anyone seen any other bits available?
