Hi Andy, I am your fans from Malaysia. May I consult you on these 2 questions: 1. Is that fine if we use Large-Large when uphill, not for a long period but just for that particular steep uphill, maybe a few minutes? (reason being I always face difficulties in shifting from small to big chain in front, which leads to my second question) 2. Any tips for an easy shifting from small to big chainring (Shimano 105 R7000)? I always struggle when pushing the shifter with my fingers and ask for my friends' help to change, But they all said my shifter doesn't have any problem, it is my fingers problem (newbie here). Lol
I have a shimano 105 11x2 gears, when my chain is on the big front ring and smallest rear ring, I can shift my rear down to about mid cassette before the chain starts to rub the front derailleur, is that normal or should I be able to go lower?

i noticed a lot of new mountain bikes only have 1 gear in front now. I wonder if this is why
