Agreed - but by no means as maintenance-free as hub gears.


Probably less of a PITA than the hub gears, IME. You might need to
floss the cogs every few months--but on the odd chance you get a rear
flat with a gear hub, it's a wash. ;-)


You have a valid point there. Fixing a flat on a wheel with hug gears
is a royal pain. They are best suited to riding on roads and with
tough tyres!
