that's good to know, thanks.

How did you like the 28T? :-)

My current setup is front 32T with back 36T for the road wheel set and front 32T with back 40T for the gravel wheel set.

Do you sprint much or pedal down hill a lot? I had 1x 40T on the front for a little while there was only one hill I spun out on because it was just a slight down grade, arrow straight and smooth. Most hills between the turns, cars, ruts I tend to just coast or even use my brakes. I don't tend to not go much faster than 30 mph downhill unless the conditions are really good.

front 40T / back 11T should be good for 23 mph to 29 mph which is plenty for me.
