I run a Pletscher on my built up DT.
Went to remove it for a hilly for me 200k, which was a stretch given my conditioning. I left it on, as I figured it would save more time/effort than pulling it off would save.
Else it stays on...
First real bike had one, next one didn't, then one didn't, last 2 did... Next 2 will as well...
See a pattern?
