With a lot of talk about 1x drivetrains, are they something you want on your road bike? cycling
An increasing number of bikes now use 1x drivetrains, which essentially means the bike has a single chainring with no front derailleur. It's clear this is a topic that divides opinion, when it comes to using 1x on drop bar bikes, particularly dedicated road bikes. Is it the right choice for you and your bike?
1x drivetrains use a single chainring, which saves the cost and complexity of a double chainring and eliminates the front derailleur and front shifter. This should give you one less thing to think about as you ride.pioneered the use of 1x systems, initially for mountain bikes, then on cyclo-cross bikes, and now gravel bikes and road bikes. All versions of Force, Rival and Apex are available in 1x configurations .

Less maintenance As a result of the wide-ranging cassette, there can be some bigger jumps in gear ratios between each rear cog. It can therefore be difficult to keep your rhythm when changing from one gear to the next.3. Increased wear of components
