What's all this gear changing nonsense?

Must be for people who didn't put the right sized sprocket on at the start of the ride :roll: .

[quote="Andrew G"]The advantage they have is that everything is supplied free, only has to last one season, fitted and fettled daily by a mechanic, and should anything happen a bloke driving behind them gives them a new one before they've got a foot out the pedal.


Whereas any proper rider runs with their broken fixed-gear bike to the local blacksmiths and re-welds their forks, without the outside assistance of the blacksmith's apprentice operating the bellows of course.

geez. course the DA Di2 or whatever will be expensive. Due to price elasticity of demand. theyr able to operate as a monopoly in the electronic gear market, and thus achieve abnormal profits, cant do that without raising prices high. it'll be the same story as it was with HD tvs when they first came out.

[quote="Keith"]I recon the '09 kit will be over-priced and have loads of problems, but I also reckon that by mid '11 half the Club Run will be using electric shift.


The other half will have more sense :wink:
