Compatibility is becoming harder add they is still plenty of old 9 speed about, 10 was standard for a good while, then the idiots decided 11 cogs was a good idea. Plus more proprietary chain rings mean maintaining a push bike is getting more like a motorbike cost.
You're right about compatibility - when I started riding bikes were 3 speed and all imperial... cotter pins... all steel frames... Try telling that to the kids today and they won't believe you!
update: wow! they are cheap aren't they?? quite a bit less than Parker and free post too... might put up with the service after all.
Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back it said, "Wish you were here."
