I like this calculator as it's real time changeable.

As you see, not very effective choice of FW and rings.

I used to run a 26/44/48 with a 13,15,17,20,24,28,32 FW and it was perfect. I could ride in either ring and only change rings when I wanted to fine tune the gear.
The FW these days with a 13.15.17.19,21,24 are so great for HS.

Sunrace currently makes a 7sp MFM300 FW with 14,16,18,21,24,28,34 cogs that'd be great with say a 30/44/48 combo.
