650B Elephant National Forest Explorer

If your shifters are indexed you should be able to shift over the entire cassette in one action. Did you try bar-end shifters ? Maybe more comfy.

Due to the nature of the T-rex Brotherhoods, I have the unique ability to downshift using not only my hands, but also my kneecaps.

Edit : You're Ed and everybody knows you did.

Have to rep you for this, could not stop laughing.

super dreamy build. interesting thought about the pros of using an easier gear with a view to having better traction - makes sense.

There is such thing as too easy a gear, having a very low GI would mean at a high cadence, you have less velocity when climbing, and in turn, less traction on loose surface (especially on 30%).
