I'm fascinated how the double crankset in Shimano's newish gravel group,
GRX, is 48/31.
I think they should have done 46/31, but still good.

Look how hard people have to work at it to get a repetitive stress

Thanks for that lead as I hadn't heard of them!

I'm really happy with my 50/34 X 12-30 set up. From memory, I think I use
the top six gears with the big ring, and the bottom five with the small
ring. Pretty minimal crossover with that set up. The low 34X30 takes me
just about anywhere I need to go, but the 50X12 pretty much never gets
used.
I used my wide range double as a single with a bailout; with 9 cogs for the
44, 9/10 of what I needed required only rear shifts. And, I set up the outer
and the cogset for a pretty straight chainline in the cruising gears. With
nine or 10 cogs in back, one ring is plenty for everything except
Yup, I pretty much ride mine as a 1x9 until the hills come. I'm running
44-30 and 12-27. I do spin out on bigger hills and occasionally wish for
something a bit easier for extreme grades. Maybe I should give 44-28 a shot
with one of SRAM's 11-28 cassettes.
The other thing that makes this setup
Today I'm taking the Sam Hill to the LBS to have the Deore rear 8/9/10 sp
freehub body exchanged for a (scavenged; thanks Ryan) 7 sp one. And, if I
can find a way to do so, I'll toss the present 13 outer and have a
15-17-19-21-26-32 6 speed, with an extra spacer or two at the big end. For
why?

While it may sound crazy, I often find myself in the highest gear on
most of my bikes. I'm not a racer, but I really do enjoy a lower
cadence mash on the flats and downhills and the occasional low grade
hill. I also like being able to overtake the SF fixie riders who pedal
at insanely high
Avast, heretic! This be week two (to be precise: this is the 8th day of
receipt) and I've put 85 miles on it -- not a lot, but work has been busy.
I hope to swap out the egregiously wide 160 mm Sugino for a more modestly
endowed 150 or so (one hopes) Q'd 110 triple. As for the 13, I'd rather
Let us all know 'bout that triple if you find it. The only one I know that
narrow (in 110bcd/square taper) is the late-great TA Zephyr.

Those Ritcheys are nice. $200 doesn't sound bad for NOS considering what's
out there. I don't now what the RF Trubines look
With my 46-30 crank and 12-28 cassette, I can use all 8 cogs in the
big ring and all but the 1213 in the small ring. Best gearing setup
I've ever had!
I can do even fairly hilly rides in the big ring and there's just
enough overlap in the middle of the range that I don't shift the front
No, not yet. On my list of things to do. I did buy a roller though. Don't
really know if it's doing any good yet. I've tried all the easy fixes
recommended by my friends on the internet. Next up is a local massage
therapist that is highly recommend. I'll probably due the fit in
