Is that a 3x1 with an Alfine tensioner? What's the point of that?

It is, and I don't know why, says it's an 18t sprocket give them a range of 68, 53 and 41GI

A 11-28 cassette with a 44t chainring give them a range of 98 to 39GI.

What's going on with the netting under the saddle?

That's amazing spotter. Would rep (if my phone allowed...).

It's probably lighter than a 3 speed hub gear.
And you can tell what's wrong when it's gefucked.

Definitely prefer that with the knobblies.

Not a suprising thing to hear you say

Hah, predictable MTBer is predictable.

Definitely more useful than 29ers.

Definitely more useful than 29ers.

^ why ?

Because it's much more flexible in sizing, you can take says, a Surly LHT and able to run fat MTB tyres or road tyres.

It's a little less feasible being able to find a road frame with clearance for 29ers tyres.

If only there were frames designed to accept those damned 29er tyres!
