Sounds like a great setup to me for hills. The 11-32 with compact gives you as low a gear as a usual road triple setup. Keep on trucking and good luck with the fit. As you get more used to it things will change again.
I went for my longest ride yet yesterday, 10.5 miles. I was able to manage 12.8 mph which I am actually very happy with. Even with the 11-23 cassette some of the hills here are still damned hard for me. It is getting a little easier though and slowly the weight is coming off. I'm happy and that is all that matters really.
Well, just found out this morning....the Bone Marrow Drive my son and friend helped run yielded yet ANOTHER match!!!!!
Hopefully will help/save the life of a 22-year old fighting Leukemia.
I can't believe the odds, we signed up just under 100 people to the registry, and achieving two matches is amazing.
