In the northeast I only use a 1x10 as its mostly flat
Back home in Venezuela where shit is really steep, you NEED a granny.
1x10 has definitely made me a better rider as I carry more momentum throughout, but you also have to master the sit and spin technique for some sections.
Hi guys I was thinking of building my own AM / Enduro bike, I really new so I need some opinions on drivetrain choice, I am thinking of full XT, then mix zee rear D and zee brakes. Or should I go full saint with Zee brakes and rear zee mech. Will be running 1 * 10. Thanks very much in advance!
I was thinking of the zee brakes cause I heard they offer more modulation than the xt and the zee mech is shorter so it wun strike the tall rocks. Or it doesn't really matter?
