Another 1x road devotee here. I’ll echo the suggestions above about looking at your ride data and https://www.gear-calculator.com/ to figure out gearing options that will work. I looked at my cadence on local climbs and flat segments and settled on 42x11-36, which gives me the same range I had with 2x minus the highest two ratios which I never used (50x11 and 50x12). For me, the gaps in SRAM’s 11-36 cassette are fine.
