32T chainring and then a handful of sprockets... 16, 18, 20... something like that. If you happy with the 42T than keep it. We just commented as it is a pretty impressive MTB ratio .
On a 26" wheel bike?... Around a 32T. Wait until you try ride proper hills or a decent ride 50km+... then you'll know why. Secret is to gear for the hills (certainly on the longer rides). I run 32x16 on my first 26" SS. Now run 32x17 on my Niner SIR9.
They were on my shortlist. Then I heard the suggested price... they went onto my long list... very long list. Lots of options at (and up to) this price point.
Jeez... that took a while to warm up. First ten minutes was a yawn fest (lets ride down this path and wiggle our bars from side to side as fast as possible!). Got way better from the dirt jump guys onwards... Last 20 minutes was entertainment.
