Thrasher-
Yeah, for the most part was amazing. Climbing was fine in that gear fully loaded up to near 12%, and my friends were pushing their bikes at that gradient too. As @yoshy said, tarmac descents in that gear were not so fun. Did unclip and freewheel a couple times but that was sketchy as hell (even with front brake) haha

So this is my super cheap steel Forme Atlow. Had it for a few months and last month took it on the badger divide (running fixed 42/20). For a cheap complete it’s been insanely good fun and super reliable so far. Upgraded the wheelset straight away. Deathgrips. Schwalbe land cruiser 700x35 on both (cheap cheerful and good grip).
