I need lower gears 4 hills on my road bike

[Crankin]

My bike with the 11-34 mountain rear dérailleur has a compact on the front. My other bike has a triple and an 11-28 on the back.
I can climb almost anything on both of these; the goal is to get up the road and I do go slowly! But, unless I am on a mountain, I rarely use the lowest gear on the bike with the mountain gears. I've walked twice in 15 years and both of those times I kind of gave up... I could have done it.

I am hoping to get an 11-34 put on the back of the Volagi I am having built (there will be a compact double in front). The LBS is testing it out to see how well it will work with the rest of the drive train before committing to it. If they don't think it will work that well, I will go with the 11-32.

I will admit to having had to walk several times, especially when I was first returning to cycling a few years ago. These days I do not walk, although I do sometimes have to stop part way up when the climb is long and steep.
