It's the 10 in the 10x42 that's the problem.

It requires a special hub, and limits your flexibility in swapping cassettes

The 10 cog is designed to give you an acceptable high end with one smaller front chain ring.

With a 2X 50/34 setup, the 50x11 should be big enough without going to a 10 small cog.

Using a Sram 2x or Ultegra 2x with an 11-36 would still give you a pretty low gear
