There aren’t too many choices beyond the big-2. Box is one such choice. Based on first ride only, the gearing choices are really good and the shifting action is better than the price might suggest. I’m really impressed.
It looks good. It feels good. Installation was easy. If it holds up to use then it will be 100% successful.
