Your bike has a 30 ring and 21 sprocket which is 38". You should fly up a 10%.
Hold on. I read this as you saying that you can't go up anything steeper than 8% with gearing higher than 30x27 (i'm not sure where that statement came from, or if it's just a poorly phrased joke). Bhoyjim then points out that his gearing is higher, but then you shot him down (rudely) for listening to you and state the opposite to your original statement.
Think you should say sorry Jimbo!
