I can't speak to the weight, I commute on the Hunq and routinely put 10 pounds of books, papers, and laptop on it. I went with the XD2 wide/low double crank and the Shimano HG 61 12-36 rear for simplicity. Like Deacon I skipped the front derailer. In my case I use the 40t and have the 26t because it came with the 40 and I might decide to try and climb a wall some day. The setup was much discussed here when Riv started offering the double. Bob
