37T ! all the way.. otherwise how do you pedal on the way down? I have a Singlespeed and a Santa Cruz bullit. This is the easiest to get to the top.
I wanted to make this a light build... but once it had the 160mm forks on(which i can wind down to 115mm) it ended up being quite burly. It's SOOOO heavy up front.. the rear just fish tails around behind. i wanted a a tough Winter XC bike but ... got carried away.
buildt mine a bit lighter with 34front/11-36 rear , tho considering 32 front
