I took my 29 out today for ride in Mitchel high and that was a bit to much being a 26% overdrive or a 3.00 to one ratio. the 3.27 would give the same effect as 15.5% full time overdrive when compared to the standard 3.78. With a high compression head and a strong engine that is doable. Sure she will be a little slow off the line but very happy at 40 to 50 mph.
