how many gears

Hello all,

My LBS says I will be OK with a 10 sp double (20 gears) He said he will use an extra big 29t cage to give me the range I need. (The bike will be a Calfee Luna Pro)

I'm 42 and have been riding since the Spring. I rode about 40 miles on my Hybrid yesterday and was spent at the end.

It seems nice to have a double, but I'm a little worried that I may need the triple someday. I like the hills, but have never used the left #1 on my Hybrid. The lowest I have gone is the #2 on the left and the #1 on the right.

What do you think?
Mike
