    Afternoon all, I guess this question may have been asked more than once, but I think my predicament is a little different to most. I’ve mentioned before that I have several medical issues, I cannot get out of the seat to pedal and have great difficulty on steeper climbs, my road bike has lowish gearing and I can just about manage, but I have the opportunity on a disc braked gravel/CX bike, but the gearing is still not low enough for me. I’d like to stick to 2X on the front and 10/11 on the back, with 40+ on the biggest ring, is there any current bikes that have this option or can be converted to the bigger option? Alternatively, is there any smaller crank rings that would help with the gearing?

    Another addition to this, would I be able to get a spare set of wheels and use them for the road on the same bike?

    I’m not an all out go faster guy, so having different bikes for all different disciplines is not my thing, so, I would like to have one bike for two uses.

    Thanks all.

    Alan.
