You do know that this piece was not directed at you, or anyone else who has a
heels-in-the-dirt-stance on gear range, right? Conversations between you and I
pushed me to do the initial calculations for the Truth About 11-Speed, where I
concluded that we are only one gear short of a current 10-speed double with
the existing 11-speed drivetrains. This piece is about an affordable
drivetrain modification for riders who don't need the gear range and are
willing to give up a few of the longer gears. And who knows, maybe a 26T
direct mount is coming down the line. You can buy a 64 bcd 26T from
AbsoluteBlack already. Again, this piece is not directed at you, period - but
you are defending your position as if it is. I'm serious about the 800 words.
You write more than that every time I write something on the topic!
