Built up a xs scout for our kid, this is our families first 148 bike. Went with a canfield crankset, 11sp XT with 46 and 28 front ring. Thought we would need a no offset chainring but went back to a 3 mm due to horrible chainline. No room to spare on the chainstay. Will have to go to a no offset ring with a bigger ring which he's likely to need for bike park so we'll probably switch it to 10 speed with smaller cassette. Frustrating to say the least, can't say we'll be buying another 148 bike and we'll continue to avoid 12 speed.
