I want to get back into cycling more often, but I also like to hit the trails and jumps with the kids. I used to have a Specialized BigHit 2 but that's way too much bike for commuting and general trail riding (Tried it once a long time ago, bad idea).
This is more a question about gearing, but for those who do commute and bang some trails, would a 1x9 gearset be sufficient? I don't remember it being too bad with my old one, and where I'm at, I don't have any huge hills and my kids aren't big enough to tackle big hills while out riding.
Should I be looking at 2x or 3x? For what I would be doing a 3x seems almost excessive. Thanks!
For reference, I'm currently looking at a 2006 GT I-Drive 5
