Exactly.Ive got a 6k bike and its only got one on the front and 11 on the back.Lowest gear I can climb the steepest,longest hills and top gear is fine apart from long downhill runs on roads but at the end of the day its not a roadbike and theres more than enough gears in between.On the plus side less weight,less shit to go wrong or maintain,less junk on the bars andwho wants to be clicking through 30gears anyway?
