I have test ridden a Condor with one on it. Worked quite well for a bit and I like the ratio.
The problem for me was it suddenly popped out of gear and lost all transmission. I hope that it was a glitch but the fella that brought it down to me said it happend to him twice. The shifter doesn't seem to have a very positive action between clicks so it's easy to have the cable at the wrong tension.
Imagine spinning for the win and it popping out of gear. Then imagine it popping back into gear and ripping your knees off
That's my ill worded 2 pence
