so I decided to fit my spare CX component Rival 11s brifters and derailleur with a clutch.
the cage is a bit long for my liking but it works very well; nice new smooth chain good rolling (50/55psi).

so it is 11s 11-42 with a 69T chainring. Idea was to bring the ratio I ride the most more towards the middle of the cassette.

How many links in that chain?
