Anyone using a 46/30T crank on a road bike?
I used a 46/30T cranks with 11-36T cassette, whose gearing goes as low as the low on a Trek 510.
The advantage, at least on this bike, was I could use the existing Di2 derailleur setup without having to modify anything (apart from the B-screw and front derailleur position).
I run a 48/32 with 11-36 and am satisfied with it... I'd rather have a decent triple but given the option between a good triple with 11-36 cassette and brifters I'll take the brifters and a double...
