In the hilly events I've been doing I think I use my FD more than my RD for much of them.

It's literally: granny gear uphill into big ring for downhill (not really pedaling, just to reduce chain slap) and back into granny for the next climb. Maybe I should just run 30x42 singlespeed :)

Sounds like single speed is the way haha, definitely no chain slap and you can rock up to bike polo mid ride and give their ratios a run for their money :))

But yeah I definitely enjoy the 2x for the downhill. On the uphill it's usually just slap it in the smallest gear I have, as you said
