Does anyone know the gear ratios for the Curve vs the Mini? I realize the curve is 3 gears, and the mini 8 but does the mini hub actually have a much larger range of gears or is it just smaller divisions within the same general max/min?
I do find that the hill climb gear on my curve is not quite cutting it for a few steep hills on my ride. I'd love to hear about Caaah's upgrade to the X-RF8 hub - how hard was it, how expensive, etc? That would be really helpful info!
Thanks for the great comparision! I was struggling to decide between these two bikes and ended up with a curve mostly because I'm in Canada and didn't want to deal with cross-border shipping of a Downtube.
