When I lived in south east Mi. a long time ago, I had a bike with 44-52 chain rings and a 14-18 straight block. It was great. These days, living in the SF east Bay Area, I'm really pleased with 30-46 rings and a 9sp 11-32 cassette. I am convinced that the "right" gear setup is entirely dependent on the rider, type of riding, and terrain. The only thing I think approaches being universally "right" about gearing is the notion that having your typical cruising gear near the middle of the cassette is a good idea. Well that and whatever ideal is for you, lots of variations from it can still be perfectly serviceable.
