[quote="Furks":23p6g9t8]With a cassette 11-34 or 1×10 with 11-36 I think the gear ratio can be for everyone.
I must fall outside of "Everyone". There are times that I’m not getting up the hill without my little ring. I would love the simplicity and weight savings of a 1xsomething, but I would be walking a lot more on the trails around me.
How about "Everyone that doesn’t have legs like limp spaghetti"?[/quote:23p6g9t8]
2×9 should be fine. Or 32 front and this 42t cassette ?
If I had all those climbing , I wish I had ! I would still try my best to have a proper chainguide.
If it is a long climb first maybe SS up and roll down 😀 Or just change chainring on the top.
