• currently I'm running road a 105 group with 50-34/11-32.
    can I swap out the 105 chainset for a 46-30 grx double without changing anything else for easier gravgrav ratio?

    You have to lower the front derailleur, and shorten the chain obviously.

    You’ll probably also need to change to a GRX front derailleur, because of the 2.5mm offset GRX chainrings. Although some people report that their road front derailleur also worked, by adjusting the limit screws to their limit.

  • nice one. it's a band on mech so probably worth a try.
    I'll probably slap a new chain on there anyway.

    edit - just found a thread on stw forums that suggests 11-40 cassette and a roadlink would also work. might be a better option as I'll still be able to ride the big on the road.
