I settled on 48 one side 50 the other and can swap sides without the need to change the chain - just makes it with the adjusters. Tyres are Michelin sport pilots, not 'classic' but superb handling with 28 psi front and 32 rear. I run on the 48 for long distance touring. 50 gives better performance in the mountains and also in the traffic light sprints (LOL)

have not noticed any difference in handling no matter which direction rear rotates.
