I think I'm going to end up keeping the compact and likely going 11-32. It'll buy me a bail out gea . I've used the 34-28 combo a few times while riding already and wished I could sit and spin a little bit more.
This is a ride im likely going to end up doing often from my gfs place in Philly has about 2k of climbing in 20 miles and isn't the most hilly route in that area... Just one I mapped!
Here's the route with info if I linked it right. Ignore the vi etc, my ftp isn't right at all. I need to do a real test soon. Still looking for a good spot to do things and I can't make myself do anything else other than a map test indoors.
