In my opinion: not a road 1x any time soon, and no 2x13 with the Ekar cassette geometry.
I have tried contributing to this thread with this idea already buddy, some people here are too close minded to validate it.pdlpsher1 wrote:This popped up on my feed today. 1x14 hack!

I agree with you RE: the 19-22 jump. It sucks. Which is why Campy road cassettes (other than that ending in 29 which has a 19-21 jump) are a no-go for me.Yoln wrote: ↑Wed Nov 10, 2021 4:24 pmSo what's the future? Assuming that sprinter can efficiently sprint on a 9cogs, and assuming that we will get 14 speed cassette, you'd have a 44 at the front (44:9 = 53:11) and up to 35 on the largest cog to match a 36:29 ratio. That would mean something like 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,17,19,22,25,28,31,35 still much bigger jump (15% between 19 and 22) than I would like to have, and were not even talking about the range offered by let's say riding a 52-36 and 11-34, that many amateur ride.

A 19-22 jump is a no go but 14-16 jump is fine?robertbb wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 9:50 pmI agree with you RE: the 19-22 jump. It sucks.

My ideal 14 cog cassette:
10-11-12-13-14-16-18-20-22-25-28-32-36-40
Pair with anything from a 44t (if you're a sprinter/masher) down to a 38t for climbing/spinning)
I'd use a 40t personally for a 1-1 climbing gear and plenty of top end for your average weekend warrior with ~30mm tyres.
Yes. Far less disruptive. On paper it seems it shouldn't be, but it is.Lina wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 11:10 pmA 19-22 jump is a no go but 14-16 jump is fine?robertbb wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 9:50 pmI agree with you RE: the 19-22 jump.

Hectorz, did you have any luck filing down the teeth of third-party chainrings to make them Ekar-compatible?hectorz wrote: see? it can't be that difficult..
I have two shattered garbageruk chainrings, I might give it a try.
