I briefly ran a sub 18" gear way back in the days of 28 tooth big cogs, using a Mountain Tamer Quad; I think the low was 18 or even 16 X 28. It was pretty useless off road, mostly because by the time you had managed to curse the chain onto the sub-granny, you had already fallen over. But even the 24X34 -- 20" -- on the 29" wheel Fargo feels hugely non-resistant.
