The other option here is a bigger cassette - what are you riding currently?
Bigger cassette will ease on the climb? I am riding this bike. Its my first road bike. So far I was able to climb everything within my rides with a lot of sweat. But if I go further we have some nasty hills. Not sure I can make them.
