Waiting for the Great Pumpkin
Just curious - back when I got my crank arms as a kit (Raceface was backordered if you were piecing together) - it came with a 32 tooth & that seems the std for 1x11'er bikes being sold the last few yrs.
I wasn't fond of it - always meant to drop down to a 30t until I rode a buddy's Hightower 27.5+ that has the 1x12 on it. That was a mistake, as 2 days later I was on the phone with Competitive ordering a 28t to get that same ratio in low as a 1x12.
It's a big jump, and I'm still deciding if a 30t should have been my choice - but for real trails and not just quick street shakedown runs the drop is nice.
Anyone else ditched their 32t on a 27.5 or 29'er -- what did you go to?
