    An 18spd is the same as a 9spd. You just have the option to split a gear if you want.

    Oh ok that makes sense! I drive a 13 speed like a 9 speed too when I drive one. I have been driving 9 and 10 speeds for years though. Straight 10's not the super 10's. Thanks again though I guess I wasn't thinking which is normal for me lol. Have a good rest of the week driver!

    If you have a 9 or 10 speed, you'll want a 13 speed after you've shifted one for awhile.

    Lol same here. When I drive a 9 speed a lot and then get into a 10 speed I forget to go over and down into 6th I always want to go straight back up. I have a hell of a time sometimes lol

    Yeah I like a 10 speed, but I would def rather have a 9 for sure! I don't mind shifting though. Lots of guys just like to use the button splitter etc... I use to drive a super 10 and to be honest I hated it.
