Super-Si: I'd go for the 11-32.
There's nowt wrong with the others, but you get a higher gear with the 11 teeth. The 11-34 might be too wide a range for your front mech.
Cheers, Alcazar
PS: no riding for me at the mo., my MTB is in France! All my biking funds are used up trying to keep my eldest's trials mtb on the road. At the mo it's with Orange, as he's managed to snap the frame!!
Ever heard of anyone who's trashed 2 Race Face £80 bottom brackets??? He's now on his third!

Had a drink Si?
Mine runs on WTB velociraptors. Bought for Kevlar lightweight and grip, but I dom have a titanium frame, XT/XTR groupset, and Hope discs.
My lad's trials steed has 2.3" kevlar's too, but I forget the make. Something to do with not having pinch flats?

Not sure if SSi meant tyres or type of biking?
We should have an MTB meet at Coed y Brenin. Great Scoob drive there, great MTBing, great Scoob drive home
At the moment I ride an old Trek 930 converted to single speed, to/from work. A Scott G-Zero full sus for XC and for the BMX track and a bit of urban disturbance a Masi Trax setup for trials.
Tioga Factory semis on Trek. Tioga "phat" DHs on trials and Schwable (sp?) Jimmys on XC.
Although last week I didnt cycle once and drove the Scoob the most since I got it on 1st July

Only ride a singlespeed, titanium/cromo mix framed, rigid bike nowadays, both XC, DH and on road.
Use WTB raptors in summer but switch to Conti Vertical Pros in winter. Got to love those Contis, but a bit on the heavy side.
