Should I change the gearing?

[Ticktockmy]

Personally I have a rule when touring with my full touring rig, is once my speed get down to 5 ish MPS on Hills, I get off and walk, as I find I am using less energy that way, rather that twirling away like mad to make very little forward motion

Its only a gain of 100ft, 200ft -> 300ft, so only 1 in 9 or around 11%.
Thats about as steep as mainroads get, but not over steep.

True. I should have gone back and read the post.
