I would quite like to run a 52t chainring but this is the 'clearance' I have with a 50t:

Have you actually tried fitting the 52? The radius is only 4mm more than the 50.

I haven't, but there are already marks on the chainstay from the 'awesome power' I transmitted through the 50t so I assumed it wouldn't be a good idea. I will give it a go and report back...

That was my next question - how much does your BB spindle flex in reaction to chain tension? Maybe time to upgrade to a crank with a fat axle :)
