I started playing 2 weeks ago. Its realy fun.

But I m still kinda nooby. Yet, I couldnt get more than 3 wins per run at arena 

What was your best arena-run?

dick tate

Can you explain the pro's?

And yeah my bike is more of an all-round bike, because I cycle to work now, I live in the middle of f@#!ing nowhere where no shops are open after 7pm until 7am the next day and since I stick to my nightshift routine it's good to be able to cycle to the next town to the 24 hour Tesco now(where I work lol).

And I can also do beginner downhill track stuff, which I haven't tried yet, only had the bike 2-3 weeks, but there is a local downhill track less than a mile away from my house that the owners of the shop where I got my bike made, they had JCB's (diggers) in and everything, supposed to be really good.

My brothers mates go to Glentress (if you heard of that) it's like THE bike track of Scotland lol.

• 100% weather sealed shifting
  less maintenance (oil once a year)
  much less wear on cogwheels and the chain (spares you money)
  less overhanging parts
  close to instant shifting
  it shifts even when you're not moving
  you can jump from any gear to another with one move of your wrist (if you have gripshift).

• a bit heavier than a derailleur system
  the weight is concentrated on the rear wheel
  you lose some pedaling efficiency because of the igh system (you probably won't feel it tho)
  requires more time and savviness to fix if it's broken
  with the most IGHs you shouldn't shift while pedaling
  atm there aren't too many of it that's good for extreme cycling
