Am getting a Pocket Rocket for myself. Can anyone out there weigh in on the pros
and cons
of upgrading to a Capreo hub and cassette?
The pros, as I understand them, are that this upgrade gets me a top gear in the
117-inch
range (nearly 20 inches higher than the smallest sprocket on a standard
cassette, which has
11-teeth.)
The cons: Add'l cost, and a very limited range of cassette options.
So here's what I want to know: How many of you out there have this hub/cassette
combo,
and do you find that you use the highest gears very often? Can anybody currently
using a
53/11 combo on their 451-size wheel Friday give me their riding impressions?
Thanks!
