Regarding the Wolf Roadlink, on their site it states that the front chain rings need to be within 14 teeth of each other, and like you, I'm looking at doing the 50/34 with an 11-36, have you noticed any issues with this set up? Currently the bike is being spec'd with 11-32, but I worry for loaded up gravel climbs, that may not be enough gearing. Just want to see how this system is working with Di2?

No issues with the shifting with the 50/34. Pretty sure the reason the reason for the claimed 14 tooth limit is chain tension. To get the chain long enough for a 50frt - 36 rear combination, it is a little slack when in a 34 - 11 combo. I have no reason to be in either a 50-36 or 34-11 combo, but I'd rather have extra slack in the chain when I accidentally go in the 34-11 than rip the derailleur off when I screw up and go in the 50-36.

Perfect, I will have the shop throw one of these into the mix and pick up an 11-36. Thanks for the information!
