If that is 33% then one of this hills is well over 33%. But it is only a block long. The other hill is closer to 15-20 from the pics I have seen, but it is closer to a quarter mile long. There are tons of very short yet very steep hill here in Collinsville IL, where I live. Luckily most of them are preceded by short downhill for me to gain speed, just not these two.

To everyone who says to change my gearing, I've been planning on it, just ran out of money for this project. I'm going to go with a 53:20 which should be the in between a 44:16 and 44:17. as long as the number of teeth on a cog is linearly equivalent to the cogs diameter. Does anyone know whether this is true or not? I've been wondering about it while doing calculations to see what gearing I should get that would be easiest on the budget and not having to replace the crank is always a cheaper solution so staying at a 53T chainring with a different rear cog size would be the best option for me.
