SS in SLC
I converted an old hardtail about a year ago and settled on a 32 x 19 gear. The main reason was that this combo fit without the need for a tensioner. I think it is a reasonable gear for most Wasatch single track, except the climb from the bottom to the top of Snowbird. But then again I'm an "old" guy.
SLC is great! it might be a bit of a culture shock at first, but the skiing, biking and scenery MORE than make up it.
Watch out, you may wind up a Utahn!
Good Luck!
