1x13 electronic, but with a 9-42 Campag cassette and 38t chainring (with option for 36t and 34t when loaded). Best gearing ever. 🤩
I know, it doesn't exist. 😢

i prepair 2x for wider choice heavy gearing at desending and flats and lite gearing on climb.

2x11 on my road bike
1x11 on my gravel bike
1x12 on my MTBs

Wide range 2x is the best. However, playing around with 3x11 out of nostalgia would be cool

*105 5700 3x10 on the 1980 Rando. Best shifting drivetrain ever. Seriously.
*GRX 2x11 on all-road carbon rocket
*GRX 2x11 on steel all-rounder gravel rig
*Mixed Shimano 3x9 on Burley road tandem

3X9. Easy to manufacture, durable chain, wide gear range.

Technically, 11x would be my favorite, but I haven't built a final production version.

I’d love to 1x with the 10-51T but it’s damn EXPENSIVE !!

[fhotrod]

1x with a mullet. All the range, half the complexity

[petersouthernboy]

I race a 2x SRAM Revolt. But tbh, a 1x looks sexy AF

[MiketheBassMan]

1x and it’s not even close. I have SRAM AXS and microshift advent x on my bikes, but it’s all 1x.
