BTW, I solved a similar problem this summer by screwing the high limit screw as far in as it would go, which gave me a 52/36 x 15 or so. But I had to ride that for 20 miles.

EDIT: but given the choice between carrying a chain breaker, and jamming vegetation into my components, I'll take the former.
