: 2 x 10

By: g | No Comments » |

After switching to 1×9 of late, you realise that for an awful lot of mtbing, you really can do without fuss and muck of the traditional 3 x 9 set up. Prior to that I had ran 2 x 9 and that really was a perfect set up if you deemed that where you rode needed more gearing. Ultimately, the overlap in gear ratios in a 3 x 9 set up actually means that you are actually running something closer to a 2 x 9 in the first place but carrying extra junk in the process (not a huge amount granted)

With SRAMs new 10 speed rear block, the idea of now running 2 x 10 is really interesting as the spread in gearing should be just perfect.

Anyway, if you are intrigued, and can avoid falling over when it comes to the over US$2,500 price tag for the XX set up, or just want to read about the whole 2×10/XX experience, bias or otherwise, you can check out SRAM’s new site: sram2×10.com
