    You can work it out. 22/32 compared ot 32/36.

    Full range of any system can be donated by a percentage. IE 1x11 with a 10-42 is a 420% range. 11-36 is 327%.

    44-32-22 triple with a 11-36 is 654%.

    But there is more to it than that ie some use the fornt rings to dump many gears in one go. Or you may find witha double you change more at the front because you are used to the middle ring.

    Thanks, but I think that proves my point, it would surely be very hard to feel a 220g difference - unless it was in the wheels or tyres and rotational? I guess every little helps, I think I'll ask what people's opinions are having swapped from 3 x 10 to 2 x 10 on a new thread

    May Anthem is 3x9, SB66 is 2x10, when I switch between them it's the geometry that I notice, not the gearing.
    If buying new now I’d definitely go for 1x11.

    Way more chain slap with a 3 ring set-up & long cage mech then a dual with a medium that's for sure
