Anyone done it? Â
I've got a SRAM Rival 1*11 Free Ranger. It's getting ridden more on road than off and I'm wondering if it could be 2* converted. Â
2 reasons
- Big gaps between gears are more of a hindrance on the road
- It lacks a lower tempo cruising top end for flatish / gently downward sections. I'm more diesel lorry than revvy motorbike.Â
Thinking a bar-end front shifter or similar and a 48/34 or 50/34 plus a closer stacked cassette.Â
Thinking chainstay clearance could potentially be an issue, although I assume the outer of a double would be slightly further out than a single.Â

They used to sell it with 2x11 Ultegra so 50/34 should be fine as I don't remember a smaller option.
