On my Coho randonneur I'm running a Campy 50-40-28 with an 11-30 cassette. I can use the 40 for most all riding except steep hills. I've thought about switching it our for something like a 44-29 on a 94 bcd crankset. I think I'd probably use the 29 more than now as pushing that 44 up gradual climbs would put me in one of the larger cogs. It's a simple thing to try. If it doesn't work you can always go back.
