  • Benno boost. Got the one you need to buy in stock in Glasgow ;)

    Gsd, boost and multi tinker all do the same thing tbh. Gsd suits small pilots better than any other. Multi tinker and benno have better quality accessories. Benno easiest to service and most like a normal bike for parts requirements in future. R+m least big looking. Gsd without a rohloff has the literally stupidest rear wheel attachment system, but with a rohloff is nice.

    But still grand up to 6'2" (my height). Given the choice out of a line up with cost being no issue, I would go R&M.

    Trying to work on the rear end of my GSD the other day drove me to distraction. And don't get me started on removing and re-installing the chain guard. Because of course you'd use one of the mounting bolts to also hold the chain pulley. And have said pulled inside any wheel spray protection so it spends all year getting hammered with water and gunk. But anyway, it's all clean and re-lubed now so can forget about the pain for a bit.

  • Mk1 gsd were so much easier, and used normal 128 link chain. Mk2 rear wheel removal is insane, chain uses 14x links I think. So your buying two chains each time, pulley arrangement often causes over run of the mech/freehub as well. Would love to know the actual reason for them doing this. Even just rear disc pads (most users wear rear faster than front) would drive most folk to a full mental break down
