Just read back through this thread, starting with the single poster OP, and tell me those suspicions are not justified.
I note, however, that you did not directly address my acusation, so apology witheld for now.
I am not an anomymous internet sniper. The name you see in the left column is an abrieviation of what appears on my driver's license.
If you tell me you are not a shill, are not affilliated with Landrider, and have not posted on this previously under a different name, I will take you at you word, and I WILL apologize.
My characterization of the Landrider stands however. The basic design is sound, and the freewheeling chainwheel and fixed cassette are an ingenious way to make the mechanism work to downshift while coasting.
The issues are, too many wear points, and not enough adjustments to compensate for wear.
And the big one, too many proprietary parts that are unobtainable when replacement is indicated.
Glad you enjoy your bike.
