We recommend a minimum of 20 gears (a 2×10 or 2×11 drivetrain) to give you a wide enough range for climbs and long days. If you have a 1× setup, that’s okay too as long as your cassette has a wide range (e.g. 11–42T) for tackling elevation.
If you use clip-in pedals, please let us know in advance whether you’ll bring your own pedals and shoes or need us to provide a compatible setup.
