On my new bike, have M970 XTR triple up front. 44-32-22 is stock (I think I am remembering this right), but I put on 48-36-28 because the old gear were somewhat worn, and new gears are, well, new and slick and shiny!
Cassette is 11-42 (also new).
So for gear ratio we can check it here.
Which comes out to :
Certainly some overlap, but I don't mind that too much...worse is having to get off and push of have the knees complain too much.
When the cassette wears out, will contemplate going to a double 48-34 and get an 11-46 cassette.

Strongly recommend trying 1x10 or 1x11 whatever you can squeeze on the wheel.
It infinitely simplifies everything and you will never miss the front derailleur.

I 1X'd my road bike recently. Kept 46 up front and 11-36 in back. Had to extend the derailleur.
Do it.
Never ever missed that extra chainring and derailleur. Easier to clean and maintain plus less weight and cleaner look. Rice's machine looks ill.
My buddy recommended it when I was first looking. How hard is it to transition? I assume a shop is best suited for it?
Believe me, you will not miss the extra gears because the gear spread stays pretty much the same, just make sure you tune gear ratios to what you ride the most.
If you ride road and gravel or flats a lot, you will need a bigger chainring, if you do a lot of climbing and loose surface riding, smaller.... Etc. You will need to instal just a new chainring and chain (to 1x) the rest goes in the trash - left shifter, front derailleur and all old chainrings...
If you're a bit mechanically inclined and if you like to tinker, you could do it yourself easily.
Other than the chain tool (which is good to have anyway) you will not need any specialty tools.
Great looking bike. Its funny cause Santa Cruz frame colors always look better live than described in conversation. I used had the "tennis ball yellow/baby sh!t green" Hightower LT, originally was uncertain but ended up stocked. Now I am on this and would love to hit that jump.
This is actually a really well done video and they are a good combo.
As a pervert heterosexual male I enjoyed her combination of nervousness and willingness.
Apparently she has a real job so no OnlyFans and a respectable instagram since she is apparently the real deal:

I have been enjoying the riding locally and will likely venture to a new area today.
I have so much to learn.
Thats how they get you. They lure you in with the innocence and then rape you with the cray cray.
I know a chick who got paid $350 to post a picture of her feet on there. And thats all I know about that.
Sold my toenail clippings on ebay in college for 70-something $$$.
My buddies had insisted I wouldn't get a dime.
Im like, there's a market for EVERYTHING.
do you ever wonder if there is a clone of you out there?
