I bought a Klein Attitude V with gears. Very nice spec, hyd discs, rebas, etc but I really am not sure about it.
yes I could change for the faster bits and grind away for the big hills but the first ghost shift and gear ‘crunch’ got me thinking why oh why did I go back to gears!
I am going to do a three way trial between my existing MTBS…
1. Kona cindercone SS converted 1997
2. Kona unit 29er 2007
3. Klein V Attitude 2003 (geared)
To see which is faster and also HR…and of course ‘smile factor’
I will report back here shortly 🙂
