okay that's more like it. No, without front suspension, I'm not even starting in that race. I've done several 5 till 7 hr races and that's doable.

It's already clear that this will be a longer term project (although I want to start riding it by next March so I get the right feeling on the bike).

Have you done longer rides (on mountainous terrain) with 1x11?

Thanks for input.

Range with 1x11 isn't the problem - it's the gaps between the ratios that could become uncomfortable.

that's my opinion too and that's why I don't like the casettes for all purposes (e.g. the 11-28 you find on road bikes these days).
