Gearshifts

Also you do have a certain step frequency, which facilitates your driving. Among other things the gearshift serves you to keep your personal frequency on different conditions. So you can drive more relaxed and longer distances as so far become possible.
The more gears you have the finer you can react. But you should consider that a 24/27 gear chain-gearshift offers less gears as expected because of overlaps. Here the 14 gear Rohloff gearshift plays out all its strengths by offering you really all gears and easing the shifting.
