I'm not sure why, exactly, but it might have something to do with the FSA designed for a 50-34, and I *think* the radius of the 46-30 is just different enough to cause problems for me. I had to trim the derailleur after nearly every shift, and in my favorite gear I couldn't quite trim it just right - had a very slight rub. With the wider cage, I can shift 4 cogs before I need to trim, and I can always trim away any rubbing. Worked for me . . .
