It's a 2X - 36/22T. I actually used the 22 yesterday
on loose sand on a slight uphill. Knees are a bit sore today from the extremely wide spacing of the pedals (probably 3-4 inches wider than normal!!). I'm a bit concerned with that - very weird feeling when pedaling. These are big effort bikes with all that rotating mass. Definitely a strength training ride.
The big problem in the area I'm riding is thorns. Whatever these plants are, they do not like to be ridden on. The tires were covered with thorns embedded right into the rubber. Had to pull them out with tweezers. No flats since they are small and I'm running under 10psi. But a real PITA if I've got to do this after every ride.
