Thank you so much for so generous a response. Looks like I’ll stick to 11-29 then and try and find a second hand compact chainset then!

You’re in the nice position of having an abundance of 11sp rings at your disposal. If you feel really overheated, you may find sub compact (I.e 48/32) works for you. Not sure where you live but I live in a valley between sizable hills and actual mountains - there’s only one descent I spin out on in the area. Lots of people think they’ll be under geared with sub compact but I don’t think most will be. And you’d have the benefit of almost 1-1 gearing.

I don’t think this is the case as in both cases I have the older five arm ultra torque chainsets so the bcd isn’t the same. Seems like I either have to find a compact second hand chainset in the five arm design or purchase a newer four arm design that I can then run different sized rings on
