I have always ridden standard gearing and usually with 11-28 cassette (but also 12-25 on another bike)
Climb pretty well/very well and ride decently on flats (low 20s)
But probably push too much as opposed to riding with a nice fast cadence
Would I be better off with compact gearing?
So I can spin more and not wear out thighs so much?
Want to have some easier gearing on flats to keep up cadence without losing too much on climbs and spinning too fast
