  I'm a big fan, have raced road/crits with 46t and it was fine. Now commute on a 38t up front.
  I just wouldn't pick between the ribble (or Arkose D3 vs X) on SRAM vs Shimano but gearing and the use case.

  I wouldn't pick 2x if I wanted to do some fully loaded touring, Alpine trips or a Transcontinental type event but these are edge cases.

  SRAM vs Shimano aside, if it is one bike to rule them all, think of it more as 1x vs 2x.
  I really like 1x but if I was trying to get down to one bike, I'd get 2x.

  I'd also just get an Arkose. I was close to buying the CGR al frameset, then a cheap Arkose frameset came along, impressed so far.

• Which Tyres?

  I mentioned them earlier as tubeless but they can be run with tubes.. on paper the Pirelli Cinturato roll well with good protection.. probably not bullet proof though.

  Many comments on here about the slick GKs not being the best. If running TL, I've just fitted pirelli cinturato velo tl for the city commute - so far so good, was able to fit them by hand and they come in a 35c flavour.

  This, miles traveled is not a very good measure.
