Overrated: front derailleurs and how many people need more than 5 gears, anyway?
Underrated: cargo racks. People should have to go out of their way to buy a bike that can’t carry stuff, not the other way around. Imagine having to retrofit all your jackets with pockets.
@famousringo @schizanon @cycling While I agree with cargo racks, all I'll say about your views on gears is you very obviously never cycle in Devon county, UK! We consider gradients of 5% or less to be flat
@ssamulczyk@mstdn.social@WilliamNB C’mon, how hard can it be… I run 1x12 and my easiest gear is 38x50… That’s hilariously easy to spin up the hill… @famousringo @schizanon @cycling
@ssamulczyk @famousringo @schizanon @cycling I'm not changing my drivetrain just to catch up with the latest fashions. More to the point, with your 1 x 12 setup, you have 7 more gears than the OP said was necessary 
@WilliamNB In terms of upgrade on a whim it’s not worth it, I agree… But it is when you build a new bike… A year ago I’d go for 1x10. But I had serious issues with mud and cables on my gravel bike and I went nuclear on it. Switched to SRAM AXS (Eagle+Force) and I’d never go back to cables and Shimano…
