[#1094710]

Tell me about them. Reliable, easy to maintain etc:
I'm a Alfine hub gear convert already on my HT, want to put one of these on my FS.

I know they're pricey, but i'm worth it.

[b]opinions please........[/b]

Which FS? Some FS frames don't like Hammerschmidt due to chainline issues (in terms of it being like riding around in the granny ring).

Interested in this too.

[b][i]From what little I know[/i][/b] I think they're a heavy solution to a problem that's not actually much of a problem.

But I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.

it's an SX trail.... with international standard mounts 'n all.

Heavy i dont mind. I'm heavy, my bike's heavy, i can accept these things in my life.

Crap, fiddley, weak, and dis-functional i DO mind tho'

will certainly be good on konas as they have a pivot point on the granny ring but older ones dont have iscg tabs ๐Ÿ™

Would be awesome to be able to change gear when I'm stationary and dithering

It would be poo-stain on a Giant maestro, there is a lot of chain feedback in the little ring.
Don't know about an SX though
