Its light How light, I was going for the pro but was advised it was'nt as good off road as the Aggatu (I do get sidetracked by woodland trails) ((also I could'nt wait.))

There has been some advice on this forum about changing gearing on the Agattu. I have the 20 sprocket (I think the standard one...I so very rarely use the bottom gear I am tempted to change to 19, is there any possibility of having two sprockets that close, on the rear wheel so that a change...

and often gearing limitations. For example, no hub gears possible, and derailleurs limited to using freewheel sprocket clusters. These are much more limited in range than cassette systems and are weaker as well. This quote from Flecc..my post above applies,

Can you tell a bit more on this please, I know Flecc did alude to it in another post which I shall persue, apparently cassette is not an option? I am in the middle of buying bike for J and it looks like I have one choice the Silverado, but it has 8ah battery The black star has 10ah but no gears...
