Thanks for your input. But one of the reasons for going with the new crank set was that I wanted to get away from the 53t chainring. When going downhill I get a tap on the back and a voice in my ear when we reach 30 mph. We are getting older and slowing down.
Besides, I purchased the new crank set just for this project so there is no going back now.
