Yeah, 11-36 with 48 would be pretty nice on most flattish roads I think. People worry about spinning out at the top end but you'd be doing over 55 kph on 48/11 at 100 rpm... I for one absolutely do not pedal when I'm hitting those speeds, just tuck up and get ready to grab the brakes
It’s the same range, but with lots of gaps in that range. Plus realistically, using the lowest gear can only be an occasional treat as the drivetrain will protest, very noisily.
