Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

I wonder if the 3 speeds disc hubs might be any good for off roading.
I've never really looked into them but I don't think they give you much range. The ideal for me would be a full set of chain rings at the front and a single rear cog but without all the problems of derailluers. That would give you a climbing gear, a general purpose gear and a speed gear. All you ever need.

The one I'm waiting for is the ridiculously expensive Hammerschmidt cranks to become more sanely priced. You only get two gears not three but even that would make life a lot easier.

Re: multiple bikes. Well I do have a full-sus that is meant to be used for off-roading. It's just that the SS hard tail is too much fun :). Plus the full-sus is currently in pieces and needs putting back together.
