New build for the Dalton Highway, overall happy with it. It’s my first time running Sram, and the road conditions (mud, calcium chloride, dust) definitely took its toll on the drivetrain). Compared to GRX, it seems the shifts are a little clunkier.
Looking for options for some taller gearing. Currently running a XG1150, 10-42 rear cassette with a 40 Tooth front crank.
I’d consider myself a strong rider; but some of the 12 percent climbs in mud were an absolute bear!

A 38 tooth front ring will help a bit
Garbaruk makes a 10-50 cassette for 11 speed SRAM. I have the GRX equivalent, as well as the extended derailleur cage, and love the low gearing.
