Anyone know if you can slap the "new" 48/31 GRX820-2 chainrings on this bad boy? Might wanna try it for an upcoming gravel build. According to Shimano they also feature 110/80 BCD, 4 bolt chainrings - so should fit? Or is there any other nuance to it that I overlooked?

It won't fit the small chainring that grx use, because of 80mm BCD. You need both chainrings to be 110mm.

As I understand it, all chainrings under 34t can't be 110 bcd because of their small diameter. Probably why mtb chainring are usually 104 bcd.

Maybe you could get a 34t and use 48/34 if FD will shift well with that combo.

Ah bummer, yeah I see it now. Inner and outer ring have separate mounting ports. Hence the 110/80mm; makes sense now. I searched around a bit and found two manufacturers that actually offer 46/30T 110 BCD options: absoluteblack for an whopping 193€ + shipping and bikinGreen for a more reasonable 94€.

Both use some trickery to bolt the small chainring to the 110 spacing. They look a bit "experimental" but another search showed several posts from happy customers across several biking forums.

Edit: Stone also offers a reasonable 46/32T combo in 110 BCD: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005004259412907.html

Also my setup on my gravel bike. Minimal wear on the chainring after a few thousand miles with a few races thrown in.

Careful with the update, that's the update that made me search for the reset trick on this device. It updated and got stuck ;-) Just a headsup. Reset trick is in the first post :)
