hello everyone
i read all pages and links and bit lost so better to ask
need total capacity to pick RD and cassette with front drivetrain
1. how is calculated single drive?? just difference on cassete without front drive train? no matter how big drivetrain is? is that right?
2. on 2x/3x drivetrains u said difference in cassette and drivetrain to summarize
but what if no chaincrossing
let me try explain
front 22-32-44 cassette 9-42
obviously i cant use 22-9 or 44-42 because chain crossing and ofc total capacity in this case go over 50+++
so does total capacity count if lets say i use
22 with bigest 2-3 on cassette think is 44-35-28
32 with middle area 28-24-20-17
44 with highest gear 14-12-10-9
so does i calculate total only with speeds i use and lets say 22-32, 32-44 drivetrains???
as this calculation giving me next total capacitys
22-32 with 44-35-28 TC 26
22-32 with 28-24-20-17 TC 21
32-44 with 28-24-20-17 TC TC 23
44-32 with 14-12-10-9 TC 23
and if only 2x with 11speed cassette then TC is up more
lets say 30-44 front cassette 30-46
30-44 with 46-39-33-28-24 TC 36
44-30 with 24-20-17-14-12-10-9 TC 29
is this right??? or iam totaly wrong and must calculate whole range even if i dont use some speeds or dont go to chaincrossing
hope i explained good so by this if i use long cage i shoud have more space for misshifting without any problems and to have RD with big wrap because of big cassette ?? ofc if my understanding is right
sry all for bit long post but hope someone can clariffy me all this so i dont get something wrong
and ty all
