Hi all,
I am upgrading from 1x9 to 1x10 and wondered if the above change would give me similar low gear, but a bit more higher gear. I've looked at the Sheldon Brown calculator etc. but the numbers don't mean much to me to be honest.
Would a 33t give me a bit more each way or would difference be minimal?
Many thanks.
34 / 36 is ever so slightly higher then 32 / 34, but you would never notice
34 / 11 is higher gear then 32 / 11 and will be a difference you would notice (the difference would be similar to your two highest gears now)

a 33 could be just what you're after, but remember that you can't get a thick/thin 33er (or any odd number for that matter*)
(unless you live in the 4th dimension)
Thanks for the replies, that helps. Yes, was looking at the Raceface thick/thin in 34, or a Renthal in 33, paired up with a KMC chain.
