I would like the gearing on my 2x gravel bike if Shimano offered the RX810 2x crankset with a smaller chainring than the 48t … I have a 46t ring from a RX600 crank - but the rings are slightly different so shelved that the idea … and for me a 44 would probably be better
the front shifting on the 48/31 is a tad clunky / slow - not real bad and never drops chain etc - but compared to the rest of my 2x and 3x bikes it is the worst
I have a 6800 / 105 bike with 46/34 chainrings (replaced the 50t ring with a 46) - and the front shifting is quick and snappy … outstanding
Had 48/34 x 12-32 on old Project Sirrus. Sadly, stolen out of garage, hence new Project Sirrus. Loved that (old) bike; would still be riding it today, I imagine. All that remained of the stock bike was the frame/fork; everything else I chose/replaced, even the headset.
