Re: To Shift or Not To Shift, That is the Question
You don't necessarily need the low gear for precise movements.
Last year we had a single-speed transmission that was always running at 75% power, unless we pulled the trigger, then we put out 100% power.
Same idea, a little bit simpler, however, you do lose some pushing power with that 75%.
In the past year, it became quite clear to me that you don't necessarily need to be able to push, you just need to be able to stay still when you want to. If you can get enough momentum, then a single-speed transmission can knock someone off target. You do have abide by the rules of no "long distance, high speed ramming".
