I can't think of any reason why the 46 shouldn't work. You will get
better shifting if you reposition the front derailleur down to about
0.5 mm above the 46. If the gearing works for you, go for it.
As to the part of this discussion that has turned to cranks and other
gear choices... I think

Eric,
If you are new to riding, no matter what bike you ride (including
carbon fiber), you will most likely be slower than your friends when
climbing. Cycling over time develops your cardio vascular fitness.
The more you do it the better and stronger you get. One advantage you

I'm surprised that the White Industries Crank hasn't been mentioned. It
requires you to use their large chainring, but that in turn allows you to use a
small chainring in a variety of bcds. This would allow all of your screwball
double gearing combos that you can think of for the most part.
Pretty reasonable weight on that stem too.

Nope, they wouldn't. You need something more knibbly than that for
