Hi this doing my head in trying to work this out!

If I have a32 tooth cranks and a 34 tooth cassette running 650b what front ratio would I need to achieve the same with 29er wheels.

Also would I be right in saying you would need to put more force in when spinning up 29ers due to the increased lever?

Either 32 front/36 rear or 30 front/34 rear would get close I think.

Have a look on here... http://sheldonbrown.com/gears
I think it'll help - though I suspect dpfr is probably right!
