Hi, just had a 32 cassette added to the bike but still finding it impossible to spin up a 16-18% climb on it. Went from a 30. Do I now need a 34 for Ironman Bolton as it has more elevation than Wales? Sometimes up a steep section you just want to spin your legs but I can't on this bike. Have to really grind up it or stand up even in the lowest gear.

What’s the chainset you’re
What’s the chainset you’re using?

With regards to spinning up 18% hills, I’m afraid that just doesn’t happen, even the pros don’t spin up them.
It’s all about technique and fitness, just keep riding steep climbs and you’ll soon get better at them.
