  1. Apart from being cheap and chinese made whats actually wrong with the
    shimano tourney range? Don't get me wrong I'm not defending it just
    curious about what sort of problems such low end gearing will give
    owners? It seems to be fitted on bikes ranging from £40-400.

    Probably won't cause too many problems with shifting, but it will be slower
    to shift, more likely not to shift accurately, shorter lived, etc. It does
    the job up to a point, but it's made to fairly high tolerances, so nothing
    will be that nifty.

    There's nothing wrong with cheap, and Chinese made is only bad because of
    the poor labour conditions and wages likely to prevail there.
