"It's a long drive to right field, going deep and this thread is *outta here!*"
I get the rationale behind the one-by drive train and certainly the satisfaction of filling your recycling bin with front derailers. And nothing against 'em! If you get by on a one-by that's all right by me. My thinking: "That massive cassette is absurdly big! It's almost like a middle finger to front mechs everywhere! What do people have against front mechs, anyway?" Okay, then. I'm heading to Etsy to look for stickers that say COME AND TAKE IT with little front derailer sillhouettes on them.
