>>1204742>Have you ever ridden singletrack fast without index shifting?I did, single speed, far more fun than with gears, totally different experiense and you are faster in corners. try it.
index shifters isnt mainintence, but about throwing away shifters when they get broken by crashing - happens relativly often...not that there is an alternative for geared mtb...
DT shifters are far more durable, but are crash inducing even when indexed.
always a compromise on smth. Sad!
