24x34 is a really nice, really low low, even on a 700C dirt ride, but one of these days, I'll be putting on one of those new cassettes to get it to 24x36, especially on Atlantis. With this, I doubt I'll bother switching to the crank bolt circle that allows 22's.
Actually, my MB-4 has a 110 BCD mountain crank with a thing from the 90's on it called an Avid Adapter that allows me to mount a 20 tooth granny. I should set up that with the new cassette, and have a 20x36 low on the 26" wheeled bike!
