I think they are chasing the "1x" too much. but I understand why. cleaner, less mechanical parts and weight reduction was favored. I cant imagine what spinning a 32/50 would even feel like. I just imagine my legs starting to smoke like the RoadRunners.

shimano needs an answer to the 10t cassette. the gap between 11 and 10 is almost 10 %, that's like a 48 1st instead of a 44, but you just go to a 30t chainring instead of 32 on shimano. So much better.

Incredibly profound yet fantastically flawed
I have a pretty compact drivetrain on my road bike, and my big ring is a 50t. So someone can now have a rear cog that is as big as my big ring. This is totally ridiculous. There is zero reason for this to exist. I mean, what the f*ck do you need a 50t cog - or better yet, a 500% gear range - for anyway? The irony is that I'll bet there are people out there who make fun of electric bikes but will look at this and want it.
