Let me guess… you NEED more.
>>2078560I need less
>>2078560>>2078561Why do you all need so much?!
>>2078560Yes I do. 3 speed is what makes cycling viable for my unfit ass. It is still a compromise, but a compromise I can pack with marine grease and be okay if I miss a season in maintenance.
>>2078563>3-speedyou must live in a very flat area with virtually no hills.
>>2078562You're still too much
>>2078560Love from Kazakhstan I hate singles speeds so much it's unreal
Way more
>Whole Bicycle Weighs Only 26 lbs
>>2078587>Lasts longer than modern cars
>>2078570It's worse for very flat area with virtually no hills.I remind you and everyone that the jump between the gears is +/- 33% usually (34.6 with Shimano). With 622 wheel and 44/20 sprockets that translates to 36.1, 53.9 and 71.7 gear inches to the rim. This is adequate for varying conditions around the town, when you can play the momentum saving game. It gets irritating quickly when doing distance in the wide open flat for the lack of finer adjustment. Brisk headwind makes the high gear too heavy to maintain in long term yet the middle is still too low and the effort is spend just spinning the crank and then you feel dumb for going lactic from that. The low gear is low enough though to comfortably remain seated in any climb one encounters in the public roads. Most hills can be done with the 2nd, really. It's needed more in the bike paths with laxer standards than what the cages are blessed with.
yea, i do.
>>2078586pinion to rolhoff?
>>2078614>pure chinesium crap parts doubt it dude
>>2078625Yup
>>2078634moot point. everything is made out of Chinesium.
>>2078586Kind of a morons take to simply use mtiplication to arrive at a number of unique possible combinations - when in reality many can not be counted as unique ratios as they overlap closely.
>>2078693there are different tiers of chinkshit>>2078560 this is lowest walmart big box grade
>>2078715same as every 2x and 3x derailleur setups. people still say "ten speed" or "twenty-one speed" even though there are lots of redundancies. it's just another way of saying 2x5 or 3x7
>>2078800Yes, like I said, that's bot very sensible. But there is a difference. If you have a 500% range and 3x9 there will only be very few gears that can be considered redundant, depending on how close they have to be for you or anyone to be 'the same'.Meanwhile the '252 gears' bike can not simply have a much greater total range, as there exist very practical limits at either extreme. This leads me to suspect that if you apply the same definition of redundancy to this case you'll find that speeds are not simply redundant but even redundant severalfold. And probably occurr at very unpredictable intervals through the common sequence of shifting that is a nested loop. This is not the case with a 3x9 and this makes 252 speeds pretty retarded.On a sidenote: I guess most amateurs, probably including myself, can not even accurately assess which of two very similar speeds is physiologically optimal and results in faster pace or better endurance.
>>2078571why ai? there are actual seatless unicycles. they dont even have cranks
>>2078618I kneel
