Just give up and get an Alivo tripple and convert to double... External BB, cheap and tough. Thats why the end up on lots of bikepacking builds

Why that and not something like a GRX crankset? (I've not been reading the tech details so this is probably a stupid question)

I am open to trying the alvio conversion but until I can find something or someone that will tell me exactly what I need to buy to make it work I'm hesitant. Everything I see is like "it might work" "it should work" "you can get it to work"
At least spa sell the crankset + 11 speed rings all together + a bashguard for 90 bucks. I don't like it much but I can just take it to the bike shop and get them to do it.
hippy

What I need to get started on is swapping some parts on the bike. New pedals, new forks, attach the racks, work out any teething problems...Hoping the new fork position doesn't result in me needing to re do the cabling/hydro lines.
Oh and still the low gearing bullshit shenanigan. Surely I will soon just buy the spa chainset...
