I thought that but my main bike is 1x with 42 up front and 11-32 at the back. I'm only missing a little at the bottom end when climbing over my mates on 2x road bikes. I could easily go down to a 40t or up to a 36 at the back and have everything covered. Don't spin out unless its a properly steep downhill and I've not noticed any problem with gaps
