The cross crank though might be better for slower around town riding. Just kind of wanted to find a use for the nice crank.
This topic depends so much on a person's strength and preferences. That 46/11 is already a bigger gear than I have on any of my bikes, so a 50/11 wouldn't get any use from me -- I stop pedalling over 30 or 35 MPH.
