Colin -- I live in San Francisco, and do most of my riding in the city, Marin County to the north, and San Mateo/Santa Clara to the south. All in all, many more hills than flats, and many steep rides (I enjoy climbing). I have configured my QB with stock chain rings, but a White Industries 16/18 free on the drive side, and a 20 free on the flip side. After all of that, I do about 65% of my riding in the 40x18, another30% in the 32x18, and I use the flip side 20 for long extended climbs up Mt Tam in Marin, or Mt. Diablo in the east bay. I can't remember when I last used the 16. For the record, I'm no hammer rider, I just tool along.

I just bought a used QB frame and am wondering if a 4-gear configuration would be worth it. I live in a pretty flat place (TX panhandle) and can only imagine changing gears to climb out of a canyon...
