Ah!
32/16 is what I’ve plumped for on the 29er I’m building, although my local trails are Thetford so I imagine that commands a taller gear than most places, and I tend to be a pusher rather than a spinner. Will have to see how I get on, might be hurriedly ordereding a 17/18/19 after it’s maiden voyage (when I get round to it). Is 32/18 a more sensible bet for a 29er?

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...
