This is a very thorough look at wide range 1x11, covers most combinations
across a broad price range, though it is indeed focused on wide range...

Any Shimano 11 speed medium cage with a microshift bar end BS-m11-R will work
well.

Dear Robert,
Re: brand choices for 1x gears with a bar-end shifter: SRAM Force 1 and
matching indexed bar end.
It has a wide-range clutch rear derailleur designed specifically for a no front
derailleur condition. I use the integrated lever version, and it works well.
The derailleur looks
Dear RG,
Also, I assume you are a member of the DC randonneurs group. They're super
helpful and can really dial in your needs well, as they're on the scene, doing
what you do. My time in VA was in SW VA, and I remember short, steep walls and
legbreakers a'plenty..
Best Regards,

Dear RG,
What do you use now? Is the low low enough? Do you never spin out the high?
If so, then you have bounded your needs. Work out the gear range of that setup
(ignoring whatever gears you never use), using your wheel size. Then you can
transfer that range to the 1x setup by assigning the
Understood; each to his own. It's just that for non-hilly terrain I
personally would like close ratios in the middle and would give up a very
low climbing gear.
FWIW, I set up my Matthews dirt road bike with a very close ratio (13-25)
1X10 with an added very occasional granny (28) for lowish
Patrick, the benefit of running a wide range cassette on a road bike is pretty
straightforward. You get all of the plusses of a 1x drivetrain (if you like
that sort of thing) and can still run a big chainring up front (think 44t or
even larger) without losing a decent climbing/bailout gear.
BTW, I will not criticize anyone who wants to put a 32 X 10-50 on a road
bike; do whatever is the most fun. I certainly have some weird drivetrains.
But I thought someone ought to point out that perhaps you don't need such a
high high or low low for such a bike, and that you might want smaller
I'm curious why you need a 46 or 42 t cog on a bike built to be a fast road
bike, especially in DC (I lived and rode there). I would think you'd sorely
miss closer ratios in the middle gears, no? The first 11 sp cassette meant
for a single ring that I could find was this one for a 42 t ring:
Can’t say I know the best, but I recently set up a 1x11 drive train with a
Microshift bar end, SLX rear derailleur, and SLX 11-46 rear cassette. Loved it,
especially once I got the hang of running it friction and doing smooth double
or triple shifts. Plenty of range, though I’d probably run a
Hi folks --
I am retooling my drive train on my Roadini -- this will be my "fast bike"
and potentially used in whatever we are calling rando rides these days
(pending any actual group rides happening again).
Looking for suggestions on a 1-11 drivetrain -- 11-46? 11-42? I'm in DC, so
will be
