My theory is that if my bike was +25 lbs I'd drop 2 teeth 36.
Freeride +30 lbs I'd go 34.
Downhill +35 lbs =32T rings.

oh...i thought you might have meant a cluster but wasn't sure. i have a 34t up front and forgot what's in back. whatever the most common set-up is i think. it feels pretty good. i didn't look too heavily into gearing and just kind of chose the 34t arbitrarily
