I'll have to give your explanation some more thought. Sorry, sometimes I'm kinda slow on the uptake.

Thanks
If your area is so flat that you removed your FD because you didn't need it anymore, then you don't need a long cage derailleur either. The long cage derailleur will allow you to use a larger cog than the 28t you're already using. Do you ever find yourself in your 50/28 gearing and think man, if only I had an easier gear?
