I didn't say I rode with cross gears, I said it RUBBED on cross gears.
(this gets to my pet peeve about bike manufactures, if someone sells you an 8 cylinder car they don't say 2 cylinders are unusable or a 4 bedroom house but wait 1 bedroom is unusable. Why do bike manufactures advertise 21, 24, and 27 speed bikes with unusable gears. shouldn't they say 19speed, 22speed, and 23speed.)
