Electric shifting - that's cheating!

Good tip on the noodles, thanks.
Your setup got me looking at Rohloff/internal geared hubs....after the horrific amount of sand and salt in my drive-train from the snow clearing, I'm thinking next year I'll be sporting an IGH. Probably a Shimano, but boy does that make sense. It looks like you are in snow country also, any negatives about an igh in winter?
