Another possible concern is that the chain will rub on the inside of the big ring when in a small-small combo. I can ignore this if it only happens in a true small-small cross-chained gear, but not when it happens in a small ring to 2nd cog situation. One of my bikes is set up with a 53-36 T.A. Cyclotouriste in front and it’s tight on that second cog. Obviously, the bigger the gap between chainring sizes, the more likely this will be an issue.
