[MENTION=129516]FixedFiend626[/MENTION], One mismatch that stands out to me is the 11T top cog in the cassette. You maybe able to do more good by selecting a cassette that will actually match well with the 42T and the 52T chain rings. Generally a 13T top cog was standard fare with a 52T chain ring. If you seldom use your 30T chain ring and 32T bottom cog, you can close up your ratios using a 13-28T cassette.

My distance roadie uses a 52-42-30T crank set coupled with a 14-25T 9S cassette. While it's generally flat in my area, there are a handful of tough climbs that I have used my bottom gear to climb.
