They seem to be just amazing, offering 14 gears evenly spaced over a 526% range, but are *hideously* expensive. Does anyone think it's really worth considering for city commuting in all winters, including over-winter, and light touring? The alternative is a perfectly standard derailleur system.<br /> Does anyone have any experience, or strong opinions?<br /> Thanks for any replies. </p>
