Tighter banking means higher forces acting on your speed as you make the transition from banking to straigh to banking to straight. Also a shorter straight to wind up a big gear properly. 15mph shouldn't be a problem to maintain in any gear over 50".
Glad you're okay with it. But I'd be irresponsible not to highlight possible longterm repercussions.
