When cassettes have no larger than an 11T for the first cog that is seldom used, that's when changing to cranks with smaller rings is the best option.

The 48/11 on my bike is used on some of the more minor downhills, when there's a tail wind, or at the start of a descent, I'll wind it up to 38 mph, before coasting.
