fietsbob: Your info is wery interesting for us (three of us here) wanting to buy a B in the near future. Your writing style is a bit too much "thelegraph style" and with some slang that us who do not have English as out first language and do not know the B spesifik hubs has problems understanding. Also I am guessing that those who is not familiar with gear ratios and chainwheel sizes also has a problem. I am absolutely sure you know what you are talking about but we would like to know too.. Thank you.
