  should be fine, its what im using on my street bike, but 26" wheels though so its a bit off for me. according to here your combinations right for 24".

  then a 34tooth up front. ideally.
  
  but, the 36 gives decent speed when youre zipping about, you just gotta be that teeny bit stronger. [:D]
