from my previous experience of road bikes/drops, it seems these are less manuverable in a traffic situation which takes precendence over straight line speed as i'm courier, is that assumption correct? currently on a s/s pompino with risers but watching some 4X reminded me of gears, which i assume would be faster in a straight line verse's traffic, hopping on/off things, wheelies etc etc.
