I recently upgraded from 2x Shimano 105 to a 1x SRAM Apex D1 groupset so I could have a factory blessed “mullet” setup. So far so good, though I ride some pretty hilly terrain and when I’m fully loaded with gear, I’m wishing the factory supplied 40T chainring was a few teeth smaller.

I have looked at Wolftooth but they only offer a 38T smaller option and then a bunch of larger options up to 52T.

Can’t anyone recommend a 32-36T solution?

  1. No offense, but 2x 105 -> 1x Apex seems like a downgrade to me. Is it just to lose the FD?
