Starting up an experiment to get my Gravel frame up and running again, with goal of finally going back to a 1x setup. Like many of you I was disappointed to see that Shimano's 1X version of Di2 GRX is yet to be revealed, and since we probably won't see that this year I decided to pick up the 2x RD-RX825 derailleur and see how far we can push it in a 1X setup.
But first, here's the initial first look, real weight, and some comparisons, and a few potential tweaks.
