First of all the chain may not be too long.
Minimum chain length allows use of the big/big combo, ie. 48/32.
Maximum length allows small/small combo.
Anything between is acceptable, though fine tuning within that range can improve shift performance.
Personally, I a proponent of running chains at or near maximum length for a number of reasons, but to each his or her own.
