I'm on a heavy-ish hybrid bike carrying extra load, aerodynamics isn't great, plus I'm not a competitive racer. I guess I will reach my top speed well before I hit 100rpms with the 50t-11t combo, so 44T looks like a good compromise for me.

I will open anther thread asking for help with the custom gears setting, this is definitely out of the original subject.

Thanks a lot
