Currently running a 24 speed derailleur bike - 11-30 at the rear and 48/38/28 at the front.
This gives me plenty of range for the climbs & the descents. BUT, getting tired of the weekly maintenance - especially given the winter we've just had.
Am considering an Alfine bike with 45 tooth ring at the front and 19 at the back.
Anyone else gone from derailleur to an Alfine and what are you experiences in the gear range?
Out of my 24 speed, there's only 10 that I regularly use. So I figure that the Alfine's 8 is sufficient enough.
