>>1694749Enjoy your subpar riding experience.
>>1694755Lol. Your stupid is showing.
> The chain is the same. The RD is the same.1x drivetrains didn't use the same chain and mech as 2x drivetrains until SRAM released their 12speed AXS drivetrain for the road.
> There is NOTHING about 1x that alleviates cross chaining that isn’t present in 2x, and there is nothing there that gets rid of the inefficiency and wasted power when running the chain at an angle, which is inevitable on 12/131x specific drivetrains have
- oversized jockey wheels reduces friction of the drivetrain.
- Shorter links reduces friction in the drivetrain by increasing the number of articulation points to reduce friction as it wraps around the cassettes/jockey wheels/chain ring and bends side to side.
- narrower chain and cassette sprockets/chain ring reduces friction by reducing the lateral deviation of the chain.
>>1694811> Now if we're talking about XC and especially marathon, wasting 10 watts in chain crossing noises meanwhile spending thousands for other marginal upgrades is utterly retarded.Yeah. The inefficiencies of the cross chaining with a 1x is less than the inefficiencies caused the the weight of the bike, aerodynamic drag, rolling resistance of the tyres, etc.
