<p>I recently got a Giant cx bike, and I'm having a ton of fun on it. It has a 12-28 (shimano 105) cog set, and 36 26 chainrings. While I hope to race, I am riding this bike for fitness. Along with mtb trails here in Lake Tahoe, I also want to add some long road climbs to get strong (and I like it). </p>
<p>I just met my match on a climb called Gates Canyon. I was told the grade is over 20%. I want gearing to enable my to ride the whole thing.</p>
<p>What cogs can I set up on this…</p>
