Re: WCD vs Standard

I will side with the live axle cantilevered drivetrain not on the grounds that it "weighs less", but by the fact that maintaining one can be easier. When the wheel is supported by live axles on both sides by the frame, working on the drivetrain becomes easily more painful and irritating when frame members are in the way. With the average west coast drive, replacing components like wheels, axles, and chain is a snap because there's only one frame member to deal with.
