^^how can you 'run out of gear very early' with a 46/11? That's 110", so even at a modestly cruisey 100rpm it's nearly 33mph. I only ever use my 50/12 (roughly the same) if I want to continue pedalling over 40mph for any great length of time.
How many people here never learnt to pedal properly on restricted gears as youngsters, FFS.
