Yeah, anyways.... I've learned a lot in the last few years. This bike is now set up as a 1x10. I do use it to tow my boats though! my kayaks and paddleboards, that is. The sailboat towing idea sadly...

GENIUS! Makes me think of the legendary 105-speed 'Technomadics BEHEMOTH' bicyclic monstrosity from the 90's. That thing had a range of 8-120ish gear-inches, featured training wheels ("landing gear")...

The tow load attaches to the rear triangle/dropouts, so the rotational moment lifting the front wheel off is pretty manageable. I tried towing my kayak by hanging the bow from a rod mounted on my...
