Ok, that's probably what I had on my old Haro then, 22 X 32, it just felt like a lower gear because the difference between 1st and 2nd cog was so big - It was only an 18 or 21 speed bike.

Still, if 22 X 32 is what I have on my Kona, I do struggle to climb hill after hill, on a long ride. I'll see how much easier it becomes once I've attached the SPDs..
