I'm experimenting with a 42/28 and 11-34 on the current rig, I do have a 26t chainring I can substitute but I'm not certain right now I need to. Last tourer I had with a triple was a 32/30 for the low so this is a bit of a drop but I anticipate bigger climbs while carrying less weight.
Also not much of a groupset.
RS405 hydraulic sti levers
4700 rear der
GRX front der
XT 10sp casette
XT 10 sp chain
Sram XO carbon crank- was the only one I could find with the gearing I wanted and at 150.00 each they were worth the cost.

XT hubset
So not much of a groupset but all bought for budget, XT cassette was 15.00 less then the tiagra and saved 80g. XT hubs are a favorite and were clearance for 60.00 a set. XT chains were 15.00 each.
