TBH, I went 1x last year, and with the availability of the GRX cranks and front derailleurs that don't hit your tire, I'd have to give it a lot of thought if I were doing it again today. I like the (mechanical)…

Just got an in-stock alert on the RD-RX812 from Universal Cycles yesterday, happened to be off and an hour away from their Lancaster store. Initial report is that on my bastardized 1x with an XD 10-42, it's friggin'…
Well that was some dumb luck. I had $50 worth of ebay bucks to use from buying a hitch rack... was thinking about the XD Driver thing, and saw a body + end cap for my DT on there for $60 shipped... done. I was going to…

So I decided to educate myself and get all nerdy with my gearing spreadsheet comparing 1x to a 46/30 with either a Shimano 11-34t or SRAM 11-36t (both pretty much the only ones, gear-spread-wise, it their tooth counts)…

I mean... I like 2x in theory. I didn't know a 46/30 was an option, and after googling my choices, I can see why. Not much out there. Seems like an ideal choice for what I'm looking for... even bastardizing a 34/46 CX…

The secondary hanger thingy isn't new to the RX800, it's the Shadow design and was also used on the RD-R8000 (and 105 and DA versions) as well. I have the R8000 on a 40t cassette. It works, shifting isn't bad, but with…
1x here as well, 42t front, not that it should matter aside from cage capacity. Curious question... since you have the XTR/Tanpan combo doing what you want it to do, and I'm assuming this XTR is new enough to have a…
I have neither an RX800 nor a 45t cog. But I do have an R8000 on a 40t, and it juuuuuuuuust clears that. I mean, I guess you could maybe get a little more going nuts with the B-tension (I've only got the original one…
