46/30 chainset, with a spare 48/32 for flatter route.
30/24 give a similar gearing to 34/28, and 46/13 are plentiful, I don't intend to descent as quickly as possible, just to climb well enough.
Also have a 14-28 cassette for more range, I have been ridden with 14-28 for years and was more than enough for everything.
@Samuli I have taken this in consideration, I intend to removed the cog from the carrier and fit custom spacers, the alu freehubs body does get chewed up but as long it's greased, lockring torqued and sufficient space, it will be fine, thank for mentioning this tho.

Not to contemporary need or popularity, but really interesting build. Digging the 6 speed choice. What will you be balancing the gearing up front with?
