everyone just keep on bitching and wasting your time doing it. its a good idea to make things more simple. one shifter and be done with it. i just got into mountain biking last summer and im running a 1x10 sram setup.39 tooth up front and 11-36 in the rear. truvativ chain guide up front and xo grip shift with xo in the rear. i would love to take off the chain guide and not worry about problems of it falling off due to hard riding. ive noticed a difference in riding with a chain guide. you get more friction when pedaling. oh well ill deal with it. thinking about going to a 34 to get a better range for climbing. other than that. i love grip shift. wont go back to anything else. wont go back to 2x10. you dont need a carbon effing crank to run a xx1 ring. xx1 rings will fit on older xo , x9 cranks. do the research. im not paying 400 bucks for a cassette. ill still stick to a hundred bucks for a ten speed.
