My Specialized Roubaix has a 9 speed rear cassette with 12-32 gears and a standard compact up front, so there isn't too much walking going on during a ride. Now on my Cannondale, it's a 10 speed with an 11-28 rear cassette, and there is one hill that I can't climb up but luckily I'm only walking about 50 yards. I do have a 12-30 cassette ready to go on and think I will be good to go on any hill around my area. I took the Roubaix knowing it was a better geared climbing bike and more comfortable too.
