BTW, I was surprised to see that there’s a trend for two gears only on the front and 10 or more on the rear. It makes sense given that I’m rarely in the bottom 8 years on mine and my front derailer is always out of adjustment. When did this trend start?
More recent is one ring (gear) on the front and an 11 ring cassette on the rear. It costs more, but is so much nicer with no front derailure to mess with. That’s what I have on my gravel grinder road bike, and one lever controls up and down shifting.
