on the road, its not too common for me to need more gear than the 50x14, sometimes going fast downhill, but not super common, so - to conclude - i think it will work out OK.
i guess i'll see...

You have thought this out. I ride mostly flat land and the 50 puts me at a small disadvantage on the road with alot of guys running 54's, but I just gotta work a little harder on the Power.
