Used 50/34, changed to 52/36 and 12-28 cassette. I think it's great and covers all i need. Go for it!!

This is true. However using the scram 36 tooth ring instead of a 34 shimano there is less chain drop and the shifting inmo is just as creditable. I have had zero issues and shifts inmo again alot better than a 34 ring
