I basically have a 14 speed...the only combinations used on the 28T chainwheel are 28/28 and 28/38. It's not perfect half step but it's close and I used the cogs I had available when building up the freewheel.
Wow... Keith, that is a seriously LOW gear. When things get steep enough to require something that low, I imagine needing a pick and crampons more than a lower gear...
