Have this on Kate's tourer. Middleburn triple spider, 42/26, with an XT double mech. Seems to work pretty well.

Oh, nice. I'm cautious of the Middleburn cranks though, don't they snap and then you can't get them replaced any more?
Edit: also how's the chainline? I guess if it's "1× with granny" you want the big ring in the middle anyway?
Edit again: it was this that I was thinking of re. snappage

Speaking of sub-compact has anyone tried an MTB double crankset with 44/28 or 46/30 on the road? It's basically 1x with ultra-bailout. I've never seen anyone do it, does the FD not work or are there no BBs available or is the Q factor wrong or what?
