Bike gearing suggestion, 52/36, 11/28, want slightly lower gear(s)

Equipment

46t chainring, wolftooth roadlink, 11-40 cassette

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 :+1:

I run a 50/34 and currently have a 11-30 cassette, though I am going back to 11-28. Only time I put an 11-25 on is for a road race, which I have done 2 (guess that was a waste of money).

Lots of climbing around me though.
