This would be 83 gear inches top gear and 43 low gear on 16T with the ability to switch manually to 19T for 36 to 70 gear inches. 27T cog would be cumbersome to set up but results in a 25 to 50 inches two-speed range

I'd like to see the front derailleur that can make a 24t jump with nothing in the middle.
