At least I can, and I'm old and fat.
Ha! I got you beat! I'm old, fat, AND out of shape!

Seriously, my knees can't take the hills. I could man it out, but if I'm doing 50 miles today, 40 miles tomorrow, and again the day after, I can't be putting my knees through that. It's brutal.

I pedal easy and the medium cage Campy (10 speed) makes it up to the 32T ok. The wife's 34T only has to make the jump from 28T. Not so bad.
