Or five rounds of 100 hobos, assuming there’s no multi round discount.

Let you google that for me
These big rear cogs are a pain in the anus, I think I'd happily go 11-42T when I get the legs for it. I could always go with a 28T front chainring? Actually I wouldn't be too far off a 30T front -> 46T rear gear.

There is loads of this Charger stuff on MTBR to sift through. To summarise what I've seen, the Charger 2 is reported to have not so great LSC nor a wide range of LSC tuning available while the 2.1 fixed it. I have a 2 and it feels fine to me but don't have 2.1 to compare.
That is a good question. I don't know how you can visually pick the 2 and 2.1 apart if you don't have the RS Part ID handy. They sure look the same. I'd guess you would have to pull it apart and know where the differences are.

What did those extra 4 teeth do to you. Not good shifting or you grew some track thighs and can climb and outrun anything now?

It did compromise my shifting slightly, but just found I generally didn’t need them for my riding. Will bang one back on for TransTas.

Ballarat is hilly....but not steep. 30km loop only earns you 750m of climbing. Not an Everesting destination.
Have to be a group discount surely?

would blow a manky old hobo for $20
No discounts when you have a quality product - Ask Telstra
Definitely no competition. Who the fuck would want to? Barriers to entry - basic human dignity.

This is what's annoying me! I can likely do the research if i could figure out what the f**k is in there without taking it out.

Modesty is good quality. It is totally acceptable to shift to granny gear at the slightest sign of a hill.

Still won't help. Took mine out yesterday and I still have no idea.

Well this is why i posted in "stupid questions" not "quick questions" .... because it's making me feel awfully stupid

No modesty, just no great hills or great rush.
That said, being somewhat fit for the first time in years is a nice thing.

I hear you. They sure aren't well identified. Maybe the year of the fork might help to give an idea if it is 2 or 2.1 - like newer is mostly likely a 2.1.
Not ideal by a long shot but there aren't too many options.

All of that covid times living. I think you were in one of the better places to literally ride out a pandemic.

What, even better than my paved and mostly flat local creek loop that's scenery includes the local tip, the back of several industrial estates, a major freeway interchange, some abattoirs and a petrol station? I feel slighted...
