As the years pass, cycling technology is improving and changing at a rapid rate. To get the most out of your riding, you don’t have to break the bank. Why buy a new bike when a new drivetrain will help you ride further, faster and easier.
Here are some of the major changes:
1. Road bike – smaller chain-sets with an increased sprocket count in your cassette (from 10 / 11 speed to 12 speed)
2. Mountain and gravel bikes – from 2 or 3 chain-rings up front to only one, with an increased sprocket count in your cassette (from 10 / 11 speed to 12 speed)
When was the last time you upgraded your drivetrain?
As races like the Tour de France and The Cape and Swiss Epic grew in popularity and gained a following, a culture of “extreme (climbs, terrain and distances)” developed. This made long and hard climbs and stages more popular, forcing riders to change their gear ratios to a smaller combination. More versatile gear ratios make these extreme climbs and events more accessible for all riders.
Keeping your drivetrain lubricated is imperative for smooth shifting. We recommend:
