My 20012 Epic Expert Carbon frame cracked 2 x so Specialized graceously replaced it with a 2016 World Cup Epic. I had to go to a 1x and the shop put an oval 32 on front with ??(Sun something cassette) 10 x 42 on the back. I am not the strongest climber. Should I suggest a 28 or 30 crank with 11 x 46? (you guys were not too up on the oval). Also MBA just reviewed the "Oneup Shark 50 compatible with M7000 and M8000 11-42 Shimano cassettes and includes a Shark cage compatible with M7,8, and 9000 GS and SGS derailleurs claiming the longer cage allows for more pulley offset to reach the larger gear. Also requires long chain and some ?#*^ about the B-screw being hard to adjust. This is starting to sound like complicated. I just need (w/o an e bike) good gearing to power a week end warrior up hills in NC and Ga. What are your thoughts. Thanks, James
