I may have mentioned this above…but I’ve been running a 52/34 on the front for a while now. It doesn’t shift as smooth as stock but is fine and gives me an extra wide gear range. I had to drop the FD a couple mm and I bought a wolftooth chain catcher to be safe.

Thanks good to know it works. I run a 36/52 which is low enough for anything round here but if I go to somewhere proper Mountainous I have a valid option 👍
