38/26 or 40/28 with 11/36 cassette

Hi,

As per the title what would be best for general trail/bit of everything riding ? I'm expecting people to say try both and see which works for me but would like some suggestions please.

Thanks.

What do you ride currently?

For a bit of everything the 40 would be better as it'll give you a stiffer top gear, I found 36:11 a bit spinny so 38:11 is probably too spinny as well. It is just a case of you being fit enough to give away the 26 for the 28.

Personal. I'd go 40/28.

I've 38/26 for my C456 build as looking at the ratios I lost top and bottom compared to a 3x10

you need a poll!

I would go 38/26, I rather have the lower option.

To be honest I'd probably go 28/42 actually.

How about 39/26?

What gears do you use now?
