My bad - it would actually be a 50/34. Initially I'll be running a 12/28 cassette since that is what is on the bike now. I rarely use the 12 now so if I find I need the 11 once the compact crank is on I'll consider going to the 11/28. I do like having the extra gear in the middle of the cassette but that's another story.
I'll go with the chain at the current length and see how it works out. That's actually what I was hoping to find out. Easier to leave it alone.
