>it makes sense for mountain bikes, commutersI must disagree, in many ways its weird on XC, pic rel is Ninos bike, notice the rediculous rear cassete - I cant even think how does the b-screw look on that one an how much power is lost via crosschaining and suboptimal b screw on small cogs. Im hope its worth the weight compromise but when you look at the cassette, Im not even sure about that
