2 x 10 Set Up
I am currently running a 2 x 10 set up on my 29er (38/24 Chain Rings and 11/36 cassette) and was wondering what other riders in the 2 x 10 29er crew are using? The reason I ask is that while I like the lower chain ring/cassette ratios, I can hardly tell the difference between the 29er and my old 26er granny gears, I often find myself spinning out of control when I drop down from the large to the small chain ring, it seems the difference between the two is too great. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Giant Trance X1 vs Specialized Camber Comp 26er
I have been looking at dual suspensions for a while and for my budget and riding style these two bikes fit in great. There isn't much difference in the specs both running Shimano SLX with Tektro hydraulic discs. I would like to ride this bike around Glenrock and eventually get into racing soon. Please help me decide which bike I should get. Also does the different position of the rear shock between the two bikes influence the riding? Here are the links to the two bikes.

Beaut! This morning cooler and light rainfall has added moisture to the trails without making things wet and muddy. So dust is down, gravel compact and traction good. Other than a father and son on a BMX it was mine, mine, all mine mwhahahaha.
