Swapped the original square bottom bracket FSA cranks and the 2x8 Shimano Claris on the Marin gravel over to Sensah SRX PRO 1x11 Speed 11s Road Bike Groupset STI R/L Shifter Rear Derailleurs GR3 Crankset.
I only usually do basic wrenching, but it went smoothly, looks much better, and I assume the rear derailleur with a clutch will stop the dropping of the chain etc compared to the floppy loosey goosey Claris one (can you tell I hate it?).
Including shipping it was around $340, but I also bought some bar tape, a second cluster for the second wheelset, two new brake cables for the cable disc bakes and some really shit cheap quick links.
In case someone cares, it saved me a massive 285 gms. If I buy a better cluster at some point I can shave that by another 104gms. I googled the GRX weights just for fun as well (only found a GRX shfters wieght for both so just plit it into two).
Is it worth the it, for the price hell (so far, I haven't ridden it further then just tuning the gears around the street). For a tight arse like me I think it's great. If it all goe to shit I'll post an update.
