I'm running TA 49/32 rings with the NR front. It shiftss wonderfully.
I probably could get chain rub on the bottom connecting pin in the cage if I used some odd combination like having the front on the 32 and shifting the rear onto one of the smaller sprockets - but in practice I never would do this.
