Ah ok

1x drive trains with wide range cassettes = expensive.

Less (functionality) is more (money).

Absolutely.

Not as many who have seen the price of the consumables like the cassettes . 1x isn't new but the pricing is crazy stuff . It was developed for full sussers where removing the front mech has opened up suspension designs. And has no real advantages over a 2x or 3x on other stuff .

But if you like it then spend on it , it's your money and your bike

Some are commenting on fuctionality, not price........have they ridden it for a sufficient amount of time to give that opinion???
I ride 1x11 sram hydraulic etap, so price not an issue really

11spd 10/42 cassette costs less than dura ace, sram red, campag record.......

I was thinking about the 10 - 50 cassette prices .

That's mtb........not gravel 1x systems

Not expensive at all, still a lot cheaper than full ultegra, dura ace, campaign chorus, sram red drive trains

Some don't put a price on happiness, some do......each to their own I say

How long did you ride your 1x drivetrain for???

I’ve ridden a 1x to the point I needed a new cassette and chain. I’d have been better off buying a new bike.
