My experience with modern shift mechanisms is pretty limited but they tend to have 9 or 10 gears in back these days. You may have to experiment; for example try the smaller chainring (front gear) and, say, the 4th rear cog, and compare it to the next larger rear cog + the large chainring.

That's my goal for the next ride or two. With 2 up and 9 back, I need to relearn the gearing and see what works. I'm going to hit some hills and make sure I can smoothly transition from downhill high gears to uphill low gears on the rollers we have. And on Thursday the LBS is installing a kickstand and tightening any cables that have slacked from initial use, so I'll take that opportunity to take him up on his offer to try out a different saddle.
