Just putting the finishing touches to a bike using a Rohloff.
I was planning on 36t - 16t as I have the necessary bits.
Reading online suggests 38t - 16t is the lowest I should go on a 29er.
The bike will be used for longer rides on a mixture of routes.
I'm happy to get another ring but equally would like to use what I already have 🙂
What are other folks running?
Hi i cant remember where it was but a couple of years ago they dropped the gearing allowed to a lower gear. Something like 34/16 iirc. I even posted a thread on here a about it actually I'll have a look
Yeah it was 34/16 tho original link seems lost since new rohloff website

I have 36:16 but on a 26er, I think Rohloff's suggestions are on the cautious side.
Found it. Click the link then scroll down in the pdf to see 29er now lowest allowed is 34/16
Thanks firestarter .... Will stick with what I have 🙂
I used 38/16 on my 26er, when I moved it all to a 29er I changed to 34/16 to maintain ratios. I like to spin and it's fine for me.
No probs mate enjoy
