I like to bicycle commute. I do it for health and enjoyment first.
Positive "green" effects on the environment are side benefits but it's
not a primary motivation. I support the green concept, I'm just not
hard-core about it. I still own cars.
Cassettes really bug me. Invariably I wear out one, maybe two cogs,
which leads to cassette replacement. It bugs me to throw away a
cassette that still has 8 perfectly good cogs on it.
Instead of cassettes, why can't Shimano and Campy come out with 9- and
10-speed gearsets that have no cassette. Just a set of 10 cogs and
spacers. Just stack 'em up on the hub. That way, when your one or two
favorite cogs wear out, just replace the worn ones and keep the unworn
ones.
Cycling has a great image of being an eco-friendly sport. I think
coming out with fully replaceable cogsets would help improve the image
more.
