Post RTL- verdict on geared 29 vs 36?

[munirocks]

Thanks GILD! It’s kind of obvious actually… so here’s a thread about RTL equipment in general:

How did your equipment work for RTL?

Okay, so this is a more general equipment thread, where everyone is welcome to share some of their experiences about just about any of the stuff used on RTL. I am particularily interested in custom made things like handles or saddles but also frames, brakes, geared hubs etc… So basically anything that turned out to be very useful or anything that broke during RTL - bring it on! Pictures will be very appreciated too, of corse!
