Hey!
This week I’m taking a look at the pros and cons of 1x and 2x drivetrains. I’ve had to make the same choice when I was picking my bike last year, and I wanted to share what I’ve learned. I ultimately went for a 2x setup and I’m really happy with it. However, there’s a lot of positives to having only one derailleur to worry about. Read all about it in this weeks original piece.

Happy reading 🤙
