Yea I get the whole IGH thing but I haven't found the four speed/ soon to be five ratios limiting. My normal road gear is 66" my headwind hill climber is a 51" and I will be getting a 22 tooth freewheel for the flip side giving me a 44". Any steeper than that and I just get off and hike a little. I coast downhill and let let my legs rest for climbing. I climb faster now but my overall times are the same. I just put out effort in intervals now....which is better for me I think. The whole derailleurless bicycle is kind of weird in a way but I don't miss not having more or wider gearing. I do appreciate my geared bicycle when I ride it.....however the Simple One is just different and I see no need to change it.
