[QUOTE=GMM;13796668
I recommend riding the bike as-is, first, then adjusting in a month or two, IF needed.
A 10-speed 11-32 is not widely spaced at all, if you go that route.[/QUOTE]
I may do that. I've asked the dealer for a quote on swapping the gears. If it costs much at all I'll just check it out as is and do it later if I have to have a lower gear. I just keep thinking about the 'hill from hell' on the Nashville Greenway And I have another one on the road about 6 miles from the house. Those are the only two hills I have needed my lowest gear for to date. I think I'd like to have it, but sometimes my thinking isn't straight. And, again, this is both my first drop bar bike and my first compact front gear bike, so I'm kinda in the dark a bit. Plus I ride more for enjoyment and exercise than to race or push myself. I just want to have fun
