Yes, they were good. But could they have been better? That's not said as a challenge, but I am legitimately interested in why they go with a single speed over a two speed.
As a counterexample, 254 has been shifting for about a decade now, and they have two championship wins.
I would like somebody from 118's opinon on this.
