I like bibshorts for longer rides, PI or Descent are my favs. PI's Canyon

The opinels are great for sure. Tons of bang for the buck.
I have a couple other inexpensive knives that have proven surprisingly
hearty and get tons use. I've had several examples of both and all have
been found at thrift stores and garage sales but are readily available for
20-30 bucks.
I use them with 9 as well. I wouldn't use them for anything higher though. The
9 works fine.

It is the general consensus that the more cogs you have in back, the more
precise the user of the friction shifter must be. Almost everyone agrees
that there is a line, beyond which you have too many cogs in back and can
no longer execute good shifts with friction shifters.
The thing
