Is there any 46/34 (not 36) crankset option for 11sp that fits BSA Shimano cups?

Interesting. So I went to google the WI and TA, I think the whole crankarms will blow the budget for this one, but what seems to be interesting - I am in Europe - TA seem to be selling individual chainrings that match Shimano specs, all kinds and they are not crazy cost. I just wonder if there's any actual benefit in having a chainring from a "specialty" manufacturer ... as in longevity or shifting ... can anyone really compare well?

Chain pitch has not changed over the years, but chain width has decreased considerably. The sram axs 12 speed is the most narrow that works with some 11 speed chain rings like the shimano grx. Even narrower is the Campy Ekar 13 speed chain, which is strictly a 1X model and won't work with any 11 speed chain ring. It might work with some 2X 12 speed chain rings.
The axs chain has rollers that are .006 inch larger in diameter, but I use this chain with Campy 12 cassettes and cranks with no problem. Grx cranks work too. The grx chainline can be reduced easily with spacing washers.
