For a gravel bike I'd want a 46x30 chain ring, from the factory. I don't want the hassle of having to switch it out myself.

I actually tried to use the chain tool on my multitool once, while at home, and found that it's too small and can't provide enough leverage to pop the pin out of the chain.

I'm on 52/36 and 11/28 right now, but next bike would certainly be 50/34 and 11/32. Lots of hills where I live and I love to climb.

I'm 5'11, 190 lbs, 33 inch inseam. I ride a 56cm 2016 Fuji Tread. Sometimes I feel perhaps the 54cm size of this bike would be better, but then other days I feel 56cm is the exact right size,...
