Pfft. Stones, pounds, kilograms - it’s all antiquated and suboptimal. Child’s play. I prefer unified atomic mass units (Dalton) myself, especially for practicality. Currently at 8.431 x 10^28, but...

Thanks for the encouragement and the advice. I intend to go super slow. No illusions about going from zero to hero in a day. Short trial rides, combining public commute with riding part of the way,...

Lots of useful feedback here, thanks.



Interesting article, thanks. It’s a given that “cross chaining" in 1x11, if that is even a relevant term in such a setup, is just a fact of life. On the...

Thanks for the input. Will try to get a feel for the bikes before I buy (gearing, geometry, etc., even whether the type of bike is it for me and for the commute). Face value, both bikes have appeal. ...

Just to add two cents, the route planner over at komoot.com (not a link, I'm new) seems to make sense if you're exploring options. For additional data, there's also heat maps from Strava and other...
