yeah. i mean, [poster whose username i've forgotten] can think they're wishy-washy, that's fine, but i don't know of anybody who flips a flop midride. mostly it seems to me to be different gears for different uses. i love my commuting gear but if i were to head north and head up into the hills on a fifty mile ride, i'd want four inches less of gear. or if i were to go to a velodrome i'd want five or eight inches more.
