Assuming you're running 700X38 tires (i think I recall you posting about switching to Barlows...) and it's 28 front, 30 in back, that works out to a 25.5 gear-inch low gear. On 2.3" road tires, I'm getting a 22 inch low gear with a 32 X 11-42 setup. I personally find that I can barely deliver enough power at 22 gear inches to maintain good rear traction on dirt, better off walking (Lowest Common Gear!) instead of going any lower than that for me.
