To speak about adequacy and need is to completely miss the point. Marcus has the right spirit with the CVT comment. I'm looking forward to Di3.
Anyway, gravelcyclist.com will likely review the Rotor parts soon enough.

I guess. But it looks a tad obsessive and compensating for something. What advantages do these wacky setups give over conventional 21-24 speed bikes? Look att the first gear, I thought the megarange was a huge first gear, I don't know about others but the first three gears are pretty much never used with me, accept the time I was towing my heavy wood display case. That first gear would be handy if mt everest was paved or you come accross a jeep stuck in the mud. Waiting for the rim itself to become a gear/disc brake with some 1x48 setup. These are bikes, not big rigs, I just think hydraulic 32 speed Spicer transmissions are for busses.
