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.
