Nice Crusade! I just ordered today the Mash SSCX.
I am trying to find the perfect and cheap components...And I have a question for you!
What is your crankset? I am thinking about having 2 cogs on a flip flop hub. I am trying to get a good ratio for speeding in the city and another, for off road cross.
How many teeth should have the cogs and crankset? Any advice?
Thanks man!

Hi Karlo, thanks.
The cranks on my Crusade are SRAM 300 1.1, they're pretty nice, I like the GXP BB but the huge 48t chainring that comes with the cranks is pretty crappy. I can def recommend the set anyway.

As for gearing I've been running different combos, 42x18/19/20 for winter communing in snow, gravel path rides, easy off-road trails, cx racing etc. So it all really dependes on many things.

Thanks for your answer.
Last question :)
Do you know the difference between these 2 items?

Well, they appear to be the same except for the price and the more expensive set has a chainring for "10-speed chain". Bit strange.

Maybe they're different year models with some difference in the chainring. I'd buy the cheaper one as you should anyway get a smaller 1/8" chainring from Ebay or somewhere.
