This is why I was thinking with either staying with a 46, or possibly, the 44 up front and the 10-33 in back would be fine, as the tallest thing around here is 105ft bridge. There is one bridge that is 8% on one side and 7% on the other, and a very short climb, but I do not ride that one too often, but should not be an issue getting over it with a 46/33, will just be a little tougher than if I had the small ring with the 25,28,33 cogs.
