Going to convert my singlespeed to geared. I’m currently running a 39t alfine chainring and have a 46t inner ta chainring lying around, neither have pins.

Is my front derailleur going to hate me if I try running a 39/46 combo using STIs?

46T inner? Blimey, that must have come from some hefty gearing setup.

What's your concern with 39/46 on the front? I'm currently running a 34/46 and it's fine. A smaller difference between chainrings should give fewer issues in terms of shifting as far as I can work out.
