Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I think I beg to differ on that. The option looks very useful and somewhat appealing. I can think of many things...to ...oops ok enough with that

Whoa.... Don't be putting words in my mouth. Never, not once did I say anything negative about his bike. Go back and check your facts before you start saying crap like I put his bike down. That is something I would never do not to mention I think that bike is a killer deal.

Why? Put the wheel on and close the adjuster. Why do you need 6 "micro-adjustments"? I fail to see the advantage here unless your running multiple wheel sets and even then the barrel adjuster will deal with that....
