Hey guys and gals!
So my 2019 Grand Canyon 6 came with 2×11 drive train (it was just around that time where the whole industry was switching to 1x and first 12 speed cassettes were showing up). It did all I needed, but now with addition of dropper post and a kids ride shotgun seat, it started to feel a little cluttered. So I finally made the switch to 1x config.
But here is the thing: my front derailleur was direct mount, so now I have a weird blank spot on my frame. I know I have seen a bottle opener somewhere, but I was wondering what else would be viable or useful. Looking forward to your suggestions!
Also, I am now running the stock 11-42 cassette the bike came with, but I know I will need more gears on the lower end, so I am looking to replace the RD with M5100. What cassette would you recommend (which brand has the most useful spacing)?
Cheers
