No complaints. People argue about internal gearboxes (as
with anything else) but these work and that's cheap.


Since it is an 8 speed Di2, it would seem to me that a 2 speed crank would really make a nice reliable and good shifting setup.


If you have a frame with horizontal ends, probably. With
verticals you'll have to run a derailleur or a tensioner so
you lose the clean aesthetic and simplicity.

What about using something like this? Cheap, easy and effective. Plenty of room for a compact crank. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MTB-Bicycle...VwlwkQGDoBUZRR

We agree.
That does exactly the same job in the same way as a used
Tourney derailleur with the stop screw turned in.
