Thanks for the info. In theory I can change the gearing on my QB due to the double chainrings and DOS freewheel, but in practice I keep it 40X18T all the time. Just wondering if there was enough chainstay clearance w/ the BAs to let me change to a 32X18T (moving backwards) or the 40X16T (forward). Sounds like the forward option is more problematic. Definitely thinking about getting some, just have to be sure I want to give up fenders.
