Right now I ride a 10 speed 11-25 with fully compact front 50/34. I feel slightly under-geared on big descents and also slightly under-geared on long climbs which push over 6% for an extended period. Maybe a compact with 11-26 is the answer and then I can change up to a bigger gearing on the front for racing - I hate cutting or changing chains though.
