What size wheels? 2:1 gearing only applies to 26"

I've always found 2:1 quite a bit too big for offroading and given my taste for rigid bikes and cantilever brakes I've not really found running a lighter gear to affect my descending very much.

Geared down two teeth to 34:19 on the Kona and apart from being a bit trickier to spin up to jumps it's great. Much more relax

I am currently on 32/16 but for the first time in my life I can't get up hills on 2:1 gearing.
I am either having to resort to training, gearing up or getting a rear mech...
