Brommers
@gretsch
I guess the thing is I’ve pretty much only ridden fixed for so long now, that I have no desire for gears, because I enjoy next to no maintenance and simplicity.
I’ve never ridden a Brompton, and I’m struggling to imagine what it’s like with such tiny wheels, are gears necessary? Do the gear ratios feel different because of smaller wheels?
