Why not go for larger chainrings and sprockets if you're buying new anyway?
It would (theoretically) be more efficient and cause less wear on the components.

Thank you. I’ve only done as low as 44/17. I just get bored at home. I’m sticking to 48/16 for a while.

This makes sense. I strongly agree with running as big of a chain ring matched up with the corresponding rear cog to achieve the desired gear ratio to prolong the life and increase the efficiency of your drive train. It only becomes an issue with a low bottom bracket on conversions but you should be good
