Maybe your bike is trying to tell you something. You are putting unnecessary wear and tear on the drive system by cross-chaining the large chainring and large cog. You can achieve the same ratio with a less-extreme chain angle if you use the smaller chain ring and a more middle-of-the-cassette cog.
