MTB Groupsets

[MacB]

Well, I've decided and wheelset order placed today, obviously I had to go with an entirely different choice to any of the above.

Gone with the Mavic TN719 disc rims again, 36h, Hope ProII on front and Alfine 8 on rear, which I will run with mechs and a double chainring. Also placed the order for the Avid BB7 MTB version, I have a chainset I can use already.

Now all I have to decide on is the gearing via rear cog choice....how low, in gear inches, to I need to have?

Retention in position and the faff of set up more than anything is my doubt with them, I am not sold on standing on an eccentric BB in the attack positon for single track and descents, or giving it some welly from drop offs, it's a weak point I just don't I dont like the look of.

Okay thanks. Yeah, makes sense about standing on it.
