Getting back to gearing: a friend has grx400 on his bike with 46/30 front paired with 11/36 which does seem easy enough and yet he wants to go even lower.
Is an mtb double the chapest way to go? Also, das that warranty front der change?

If it's a GRX rear derailleur it'll probably do 11-40 or 42. I have this and it's great if you're doing 10km climbs with full camping gear.

Yeah, I run 48/31 x 11-40 with GRX 800. Rear derailleur needed the clutch backing off a touch, but it runs well now. With 650B wheels that gets me 21 gear inches. Bikepacking in Scotland, init.
