I’m mentally toying with rebuilding my lovely Roadeo with silver and friction parts instead of the industrial-looking (but seamlessly working) Ultegra 8000 11-sp group.
This group includes a 50/34 double. I think of switching it to a 50 + something smaller than 34. Do any of you have a 20-tooth gap between big and small rings? What front derailleur? How does it work? I’d center the big ring so that the drivetrain is a 1X + occasional use granny. I’d use the 50 with all 11 cogs, cruising gears would be the middle 5 cogs in the big ring, and I’d use the granny only for very steep hills. Would this work? Things to be wary of? Thanks.
