  • Technology hasn't moved on since the 1930s, when Sturmey Archer introduced fully-enclosed, maintenance free, indexed, handlebar shifted hub gears.

    Derallieurs in comparison are barely any more advanced than the flip-flop hub.

    What? Compare a decent current system with one from the '80s even, and the ease with which you can change gear are immense. Dedicated chains, chainrings with notches to ease changes, less friction from cables, etc.
