My biggest concern of the X1 was the 1x11 and how the gaps would affect me. Well I didn't even notice - it is not
like I am on a road racing, so... Brakes worked well. This my first SRAM group and I really like the double tap
and a 1 single shift lever - felt pretty natural; I love my Ultegra but these too. Fit of the 56 cm is just right for
me. The frame is stiff but just the right amount of plush IMO. I know some people hate the seat, but it is nice not
to get the seat rammed up your arse as bad when caught unawares. Look forward to commuting on the trails
with it come Tuesday.
