Riding mostly woods, up and down. natural type terrain with trips to lakes occasional trail centres.
Running 22/32 11-26. its all I need.
If Ineed a higher gear I free wheel (if i want to go faster on the road, I ride a road bike)
I can get up any thing ridable with my lowest gear.
Bash guard good for for getting over logs
A nice short chain is another benefit
To me its not weight sving/ style, its what works
