hilly singletrack/off-road
this is also really not the point of that bike, you'd probably quite enjoy an XC bike
B0N0R-
i have an xc bike and a gravel bike. i don't like driving much though so i stick to the gravel bike mostly.
tires that big are for crossover between the two for sure. 2.4" is mtb territory! shit i ride 38s on buff singletrack pretty regularly. ride 30 miles of pavement, then do some cool singletrack or gnarly off-road stuff, then back home seems like the ideal to me. like what rodeo labs do.

and yea i know of the spidering. apparently the chainline is a bit wonky and i don't want to get a new crank. i just want shimano to make di2 mtb/road compatible and maybe even the mechanical stuff.

that is what i have but you need the cable pull adapter.
my point was not that there aren't work arounds, but that this ought to be a standard thing shimano does.
11-34 ain't even close to enough unless you have something like 46/30 up front imo. that is if you actually take this thing on hilly singletrack/off-road and the like.
