I’ve been wanting a propane grill since we bought our house 5 years ago but I didn’t want to shell out big bucks for something I won’t be constantly using. My town is doing a village garage sale this weekend and I saw this little guy 4 houses down from me so I ran over and offered my neighbor $40. It came with a cover and I already have a full propane tank so I am excited to get grilling.

    18-speed bike? The most I ever heard of is 10. How many gears do you expect to actually use? Seems like cable TV with 4000 channels.

      Instead of the normal (old?) 5 gears on the back, this one has six and 3 on the front makes the 18. I hardly ever change the front, so I only really use 5 out of that anyway.

      Maybe a serious bike person would use them all, but I see no point in it.

      I found that while I never used the full range, I did use all the gears … let me trying to explain that better: I used all six of the back gears and I used all three of the front gears, even if I never used all eighteen combinations.

      If you want to shift the front gear, it helps to be on “that end” of the back gears

      I don’t know if the technology has gotten better but for me, neither fully diagonal combination worked well anyway.
