there’s a reason cav and wiggins don’t ride 1x except in the velodrome
I’m not at that level…but I know some testers used to run a single ring to save weight.
No idea where or how some of you guys ride but ive got a 50/34 with a 25/11 cassette and in S.Wales most rides I’ll use ALL the gears !! Gearings a totally personal thing
Indeed, it’s not as hilly where I ride and I am often hammering it, sometimes in a chain gang, so I don’t need low gears.

no messed up front shifts,
I don’t think I’ve ever “messed up” front shifts on a road bike. [/quote]
I probably haven’t either, but it is one less thing to think about.
What size cassette you thinking of using?
I’d need to sit down and think, but probs 48 / 12-27 or lower
