I'm running 28x44 on a 27.5, which is the same ratio as 34x50.
I like the small gears for sustained climbing. My quick local loop has 5 miles of climbing, gaining 1700ft averaging 10%. My house is at 8,600 feet, so the air is a little thin up here.

Power output doesn't decrease as pedal cadence rises so I have no qualms about running lower gears. The current DD has lower gears than anyone I ride with and I pull away from them noticeably when 1st comes into play. They blame the steroids =)

I’ve been running the 26t WTC ring for about 6 years. It’s great, and I pedal the 26x42 way more than 26x10. If I had 12 speeds 10-50, I would gear up.
I think my wife (legs like a hummingbird) could spin 26x50.

Don't you hate it when people ramble on about gear ratios.

Dick measuring contest. I never hear ladies talk about gear ratios, they just ride their bikes....and talk so much to each other you can hear them from a mile away....

Wolf Tooth produces a similar product. I've never seen the One Up design but I imagine they are similar.

Here's my rant, WTF with 5 pages of bike talk in the rant thread. Wrong forums Jongs. Tech talk.

Replaced a pinched/cut DHRII with the same tire in the new EXO+ casing. EXO+ lasted <2 turns into the first downhill on the maiden voyage. Same treadblock cut/bead pinch combo. FML.
155lbs 27psi running EXOs for years without issues and I'll now join the long list of people who run Double Downs.

Shimano announces the new GRX group back in the spring, they say availability will be mid June. I'm scrolling through Jenson USA and see the GRX cranks, says they will ship in 2 weeks, I order a pair, that was early June. I figured I'll see them by the end of the month. I'm patient, so I figure I'd wait a bit to bother Jenson about it. Today I shoot them an email and they respond with:
"Hey Matthew,
Unfortunately we dont currently have a ETA for the GRX crankset. I apologize for the inconvenience."
Really? Then why have they been on your website for 5 weeks? Why did you charge my card when these parts don't exist yet? Why do you think this an an acceptable response?
Fuck, just lie to me and say, "We expect those to ship in a couple of weeks."

Shimano is a joke outside of road parts now. They lost their glory for so many reasons.

I think 1x and a dinner plate on the back wheel is the biggest bike industry boondoggle in the last 5 years. Long and slack is the next biggest one.

I’m diametrically opposed to you guys on this.
If I’m going 20mph or so, I’m coasting.
1x is up there with disc brakes and dropper posts.
Pie plate cassette with small chainring or I walk uphill. Even then, I still walk.
