I rode Fromme today, and as far as North Shore climbs go, Mtn. Highway has to be one of the easiest. I noticed I was not using my bail out gear like I did when I had the 34t ring. I guess I may be able to drop another cog on the cassette if/when I switch to a 28t ring, but honestly this is not the climb I want a lower gear for... I think the 28t ring will make climbing No Quarter, the Burke fire road or Old Buck a whole lot more enjoyable.
Yes, I am going to appreciate the 28 on those climbs. 28x46 is a bit low for GSM though
