Maybe it just uses a bottom bracket with a crank spider for a rear hub?
Funny...the first time this 36 cassette was mentioned...it seemed to be a positive thing. Now it sucks? It seems that if something doesn't work for you...it just shouldn't be offered to anybody?

Rigid enough to shift? Don't shift under a load and it will be ample rigid. Duh!

It's just a little bit of forum etiquette; designed to avoid the annoying redundancy of one person filling half a page replying to individual posts with individual posts of their own. A considerate forum user tags multiple posts to quote then answers each one in the context of one, tidy post. Yeah, not that big of a deal; but at the same time not that difficult of a skill to master.

Kind of goes along with spelling, grammar, capitalization, no textspeak, coherent sentences and those other little niceties that set us apart from the 12-year-olds on PinkBike .

Apparently you are unaware of the sheer awesome force that can be generated by my ample rock hard thighs -

Wow...so your guns are so powerful that even shifting under no load...the metal falls to pieces out of utter fear of the beating to come when the chain drops in?

Yeah...I get that too.

I don't recall hearing about it before, let alone commenting positively. And I didn't say it sucked, I said it was wrong in multiple ways. When I say "wrong," the "for me" is implied - and reinforced by my followup of what "I" would use instead to achieve the same benefits with less downside - again, "for me."

Okay, now you're just making stuff up. Why don't you go take a picture of your bike leaning against the same tree or something.
