I don't know if this belongs in this forum but I believe this kind of setup has been around MTB for few years now.
I am looking into buying a gravel bike and I want to put a 1x11 groupset on it. I need to know if there are any compatibility issues. SRAM Rival 1 comes to mind. I am thinking of putting a Rival 1 50t crank on the front or maybe a 46t one. The rear cassette I have not decided on yet. Does it need to be SRAM or can it be something else. I believe the biggest ratio for the rear cassette in SRAM is 10-42 but there are other brands such as Hope 10-48 or Shimano SLX 11-46, or even Shark 10-50. Would any of these be compatible with SRAM Rival 1?
If not, what about another 1x11 setup?
I know 10-42 is a big ratio but an even bigger would be better on the hills, so checking my options
