Although the cranks, apparently, should be at neither 90° nor 180°. (I'd match up my tyre lettering as well, though that might just be me.)

MazH Oct 2020 5:43pm, 7 Oct 2020 11,118 posts	0 MazH So many questions!! Why are all the cogs at the back?? So many gears! What’s magic Mary? What’s a dropper post? And it’s beautiful. (That wasn’t a question?
halfpint Oct 2020 6:31pm, 7 Oct 2020 32,691 posts	0 halfpint It’s the new norm to have a dinner plate at the back and single or double at front. Someone else can explain why but it’s less complicated and I think gives similar range of gearing. Magic Mary is the name of the tyres - they’re fatter than the old normal but I think the new normal for MTBs. Dropper post allows you to drop the seat down out of the way at the press of a lever - which is handy for doing technical trail stuff. Yes it is indeed beautiful
