then you'd have a "normal" ss mtb ratio and a superlow gear for climbinhg the STEEP long climbs.
never tried it though so i can only guess that in theory it should work allright.
I like it. I have climbs around here where I would be out of the saddle constantly on an SS I think.
Concerning gaps in gearing, that doesn't really concern me. I wouldn't be shifting very often.
