I'm considering (ok ok lusting after) a new bike, gravel style with attachment points for panniers, etc. Looking gard at the Diverge. Here's my question: for the last 30 years or so. I've ridden bikes with triples exclusively. Considering changing to a 2x is a big step for me, but a lot of these come as a 1x....and the last time I had a single up front was on a BMX bike. Has anyone else made a transition like that? If so, do you like it, how was the adjustment period, any regrets? I freely admit I'm not a big fan of change (my daily driver car turns 34 this year) but I am sorta open to the idea. Yes, riding them is the best way to tell, but with the current lack of bikes, combined with me needing a tiny frame, the options to test ride some are few and far between. So I figured I'd toss this out there.
