In the fat bike world, the 6-of-9 truncated cassette on a SS cassette hub allows the chain to clear a fatter-than-spec tire/rim combination. Fat bikes require a bit of a steep learning curve. If you're of a "roadie" mindset, the tire pressures, the bottom bracket widths, the frame offsets, and the gearing, can throw you for a loop. On my Moonlander, I have a 22/36 crank with a 12-36 10s cassette. If I wanted to run something approaching Moonlander tires/rims on a Pugsley, I'd likely have to go to a single ring crank and an outward-spaced truncated cassette.

Of course Rohloff has more gears. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
