My experience is..........
Get rid of the 50 t and replace with a 46................the 36 /46 will be
a much more functional combo unless you are uber strong (actual strength not
what you visualize!) for cross as it gets more muddy! The shifts will be
better as well. I have had NO TROUBLE with FSA rings. I actually prefer
them. Remember to move your front derailleur down if you put the 46 on.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] 36 t for 34t on compact, funcitonality question

I changed the 34 t inner on my 50/34 Ultegra 6700 with a 36t FSA ring I got
at River City. Apparently Shimano doesn't make a 36 t 110bcd ring.
Sadly, chain will occasonally drop almost in between chainrings now with big
to small shifts in front, leaving me spinning helplessly (briefly).
Has anyone else made the same type of change and had better luck with
another ring? I saw that some might have better luck with a SRAM ring, but
it would be great to hear if anyone has reliably made such a conversion
before buying/trying again.
