"Hi Ya'll (Place US accent here) \n \n\n\n\tI need your inputs / help to make up my mind: \n \n\n\n\tI am building a very sweet gravel bike which I will build with a hybrid of mtb and gravel parts but the one thing that I'm unsure about is, the chain ring size and or if I need to go 2x. \n \n\n\n\tI want to go hydraulic STI's (11 speed) with a mtb rear mech and cassette (11/50T or 11/46T) and then a monster of a ring in the front, something like a 50T to 53T. If I go 2x I can go smaller at the rear but then I have another derailleur and I like the clean look. Please give me your opinion\n \n"
