Thanks all! Keeping the 2x (36qxl, 52qxl) since I “need” the maximum gear inch range. If I did go to a 1x I would loose range. Maybe do a Classified wheel in the future which is a 1x but shifts within the hub for a second set of gears. Cheers and safe riding!Hi, wondering if anyone is running the above cassette on their 2x setup. Ready to trade in my 10-42 for a 9-42.
I looked at that Classified rear hub, very interesting. However the issue that you might have is that the thru-axle is made for DF road bikes. The CB requires a slightly longer thru-axle. Looking at that Classified hub, the wireless receiver is built in to the thru-axle so it can't easily be replaced. Of course this is from just looking at the pictures - no hands-on experience.Thanks all! Keeping the 2x (36qxl, 52qxl) since I “need” the maximum gear inch range.

Man, I don't ride where you ride, I can't imagine running out of gear with that setup.I'm running SRAM Eagle 1x12 10-52 with 40t in front. With that, I have several 1st gear hills in my daily ride that I barely get up. Could use one more gear down, or lose 20 lbs.
I ride heavy at 225 lbs. Plus I put heavy 2" Mondale tires on it and the S40 fork. A rack and trunk on the back filled with tools and supplies. The bike, fully loaded, weighs 40 lbs. I was planning to use it for small credit card tours, but now I've changed my mind and bought a Q45 frame. I'm transferring all the relevant components from the V20 to the Q45 and will repopulate the V20 with original gear. Hopefully, the V20 will be lighter and aerodynamic and the Q45 will be a touring workhorse.Man, I don't ride where you ride, I can't imagine running out of gear with that setup.
