What options are available in 2x10 these days? I'd want at least under 25 gear inches on the low side. I tried the Sheldon calc but it has not been updated for the latest 10 speed hardware. With 44/29 front and 11-34 9-speed I get a low of 23 and a high of 108 with 700x32 with 175 cranks, which is pretty good. In the mtb world, a lot of folks are going 2x10...

Is anyone riding any tires over 32 on their Vayas with fenders? Fenders are a game breaker for me. Size 32 tires are a ho-hum. Prefer wider. Check this thread at mtbr on tire widths. I'm sure Asana will chime in eventually...
