When I built up my 29er I moved my 11-34 9 speed cassette over from my 26er bike. I noticed that my granny wasn't as granny as I thought with the big hoops. I converted my setup to a 1 x 9 which was perfect for simplification and the trails I ride. I was considering going to a 1 x 10 setup mainly for the granny gear then I discovered the 29er specific 9 speed cassette. It gave me the granny gear I was looking for and saved me hundreds of dollars in switching to a 10 speed drive train. The 10 speed cassette provides a higher gear but, that isn't relevant to me.
