I run a 28t front ring on my 29er. Combined with a 46-10 cassette it's all the gears I need. Same climbing ratio as guys pushing 32 front rings with a 51-10 cassette. But my setup has more ground clearance and a touch lighter.
If im riding downhill on the road with a tailwind I spin out, but who cares. I'm not racing.
