Just had an awesome idea for single trigger DI2...

50-47 front ring

11-32 11 speed rear cassette

electronic, single trigger, half-step gearing to give you nearly perfect 22-speeds with no overlap between 50/11 and 47/32 (which is basically the same as 39/27). Anyone own DI2 and know how to program it? I would love a bike with this system on it.
