Yeah, and my big concern is that I have to keep a couple of bailout gears. Some passes like Loveland Pass and Vail Pass are quite steep and long. I need a couple of easy gears since I usually also hit those after 30-40 miles. I'll try it this year but may even swap my rear derailleur to take a 36T instead of the 33T, once I ride those on the new bike,
