My (high performance) tall bike kind of unintentionally ended up with an %805 gear range, lowest is 24/36 and tallest is 54/11, it will go slower than walking speed, or 50+ MPH, so far the fastest I've had it is 54, but with a steeper hill I should be able to hit 60.
What rear derailleur are you using?
