I see what you’re saying about a 48 and perhaps for my friend it’ll work. He’s neither fast enough nor hardcore enough to get to the limits often.
As for mtb I only made the jump from 3x9 to 1x last year. So far I’m very impressed and don’t miss it at all. Except those flat/false flat downhill tailwind sections won’t be as fast as with my 44x11.

Maybe just different kinds of terrain then. I don’t remember feeling like I need to keep pedalling when I’ve been doing 70km/h. I’m just tucked up as aero as I can get at that point.
