As above for trail/xc
32 x 18 here
Depends what and how you ride.
34 x 11-36 on my 29er
Only you know what gears you can push...
When fitter I always rode 32:16 on my SS 29er,that'd kill me now....
34 x 11-36 on 3 29'ers here - mostly fine. Wished for a smaller ring in Spain, but managed everything and I'm no whippet.
34 on my HT. 34 on my FS (X01 though)
As above for trail/xc
Yes, but trail/xc [i]where[/i]? Going to be very different in the eg. the Lakes & Norfolk.
36 x 11-34 9speed here in peak district
Cheers chaps gone for the 34t 11-36. See how I do up rivington 2moro
34 on a 29er is a bit like a 37t on 26" wheels innit? Seems fairly tall.
32 on my 26 inch hardtail, wouldn't go higher personally, 34 on a 29er is much higher. I'm not the strongest of riders mind but that'd have me pushing far too much. Also will make finding traction trickier.

Yes, for the same chainring/sprocket size 29er gearing is about 10% higher.
both my 29ers Tallboy/Krampus are on 28t chainrings
So between a 37 and 38 basically on 26" wheels. I'd go 32t.
32-36 on my 29er feels like my 26" bike with a 36 up front
32 and 11-36 here. Its got me up everything so far, and I've yet to feel under geared when descending.
32 with an 11:36 here.
30 for me. I don't miss much at the top end and don't need to use 30-36 that much, but nice to have it when needed.
