As already mentioned by someone else in this thread: 50-11 is a bigger gear than 53-12. It's big enough to win WT sprints. But not big enough for you?
In my opinion there's no reason for a non-pro to even look at 53-39. 52-36 and even 50-34, given the correct cassette choice, just work better for us mortals. Gear ratio calculator doesn't lie.
