SRAM eagle, is it currently the best functioning drivetrain?
Is it more positive than everything else?
Is wear better than everything else?
Is chain slap less than anything else?
As the title, forget about range.

What you seek is singlespeed

If you care about these things it's also the lightest and cheapest.
OK boys, "don't bias opinions due to massive range" may have been more precise.
No (IMO).

Same questions popped up a week or so ago, seems to be a mixed bag.

I personally think the shift is crisper than xx1/x01 11 speed

Hard to say at this stage, only 500miles in currently. Will be going back to an eagle chainring though!

You can't adjust the mech tension, so I find it a little more slappy than xx1/x01 11spd
