Context … partner is running 38x11-42 and would benefit from a lower gear for a big trip.
Anyone happily running Rival 1 hydro with a Shimano 11-46 cassette on a long cage rd?
The other alternative (and official) path to lower gearing looks like a 10-42 with a smaller front ring. This looks like a lot more money, needing the XD driver, cassette and chainring but do want the lowest risk setup.
