There may be no real need to go to a one-by set up on your road rig, but the SRAM Force 1 BB30 Crankset may create the logic to do so--especially if your road rides tend to start on tarmac and end on gravel or dirt. Force 1 shares the same goals as the successful SRAM CX1 crankset, and those are to give you less chain drops and shift misses, as well as cleaner lines for the chain and your eyes. The SRAM X-Sync chainring holds your chain tight and works to clear any trail debris from the chain should you get dirt-minded on your road adventure. And with the variety of chainring sizes available, the Force 1 is ready to do a 200-mile flat epic or dance with you as you tackle some off-road mountain passes.
