"As noted above, horses for courses, but my 2 cents:\n \n\n\n\tI have Shimano 2x11, with 11-36 cassette and 50-34 crankset. Great for almost everything, can stay with the roadies around Cape Town, great on open Karoo Roads, great on any paved mountain pass, but once the gradient gets above 12-13%, e.g. the last 2km of the Swartberg Pass from the south (15%), you really battle.\n \n\n\n\tWhat I have is great for 99% of our gravel roads and my Shimano 2x11 is rock solid, lasts for ages and is not expensive, but if you want to ride steep jeep track (mtb stuff), then one needs MTB type gearing.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n"
