the launch of the new alfine 11 speed in september should ensure plenty of cheap 8 speeds in the classifieds so you'll all be able have gears again... you know you want to 😉
No. We Don't. 😡
But it's good news because it is the beginning of the end of the derailleur 🙂
I'll welcome the end of the dérailleur when they put the unit/gears in the BB or frame intead of the wheel so that its part of the suspended weight and more centralised. Until then I'll stick to my lighter weight dérailleur - however, all in weight must be getting pretty close these days.
good news for single speeders!
someone has invented a means to get multiple ratios on a bike you can change between whilst riding with application of thumbs only?
in the imortal works of the Milk Street Cycle shop in Shrewsbury (now a coffee shop) - this indexing gear rubbish will never catch on and it is just a fad lol
