With this system you can have a double crankset With an outer gear that ranges from 38-52 in even tooth increments and an inner that ranges from 24-38 in even tooth increments ? In doing my math, I could replace my triple 46-36-24 with a double 42-24, 11 speed cassette, 11-34 or 11-36 and give up almost nothing. Same low or lower and only giving up one unit on the high end which rarely gets used. I would spend 90% of my time in the 42 ring anyway with the 24 being more of a bail out on steeper climbs. 103" to 18" or 19" gear inches without too big steps in between. Hmmmm
