I have a 24 speed Specialized MTB right now. Does the SBP shift kit replace the entire front gearset and derailleur? I don't do much rock hopping or mountain biking anymore and really just want to convert it into my daily driver.

That's what I thought. Not like I ever drop down to the lower end gears in town anyway. In fact, I can't remember the last time I used anything but the 42 gear on the crank.

Honestly, I pull the front derailleur first thing anyways. Never been a fan of how the rear right motor mount stud can actually come in contact with it on certain frames.

I leave my front derailleur on. It helps me to maintain outside chain alignment/jump issues.

But then again I use a Scooterguy center frame motor position instead of Happy Time/SBP shift kit.xct2
