Sounds like a solution.

That Road Link is a Wolf Tooth product? Keeping the 31-48 crank ans just being able to go down to 42 sounds ideal. What's the cassette? SRAM? Shimano?

Both SRAM and Shimano make 11-42 11-spd cassettes for mountain bike applications. You will need to adjust the spacer on your freehub to fit the MTB cassette on a road freehub properly. Something like the Shimano SLX CS-M7000 should shift nicely and doesn't cost an arm and a leg in case the experiment doesn't work out.

oooh . . .

At $72 that works for me to experiment with. I've seen some of those MTB dinner plate cassettes at some insane prices.
