It's actually how far your legs can carry you... the bike don't move by itself other than falling down a Clift.
Number of speed doesn't matter if you can cover the gear ratio you need. Eg. From klang to teluk intan, flat all the way, single speed also can.

For distance cycling, weight is the least important criteria, have you seen anyone cycle from England to Malaysia in a light bicycle set up?
Doing a few hundred km is easy as long as there are no time limit. Pit stop every 20km and rest as long as you want and continue. No biggie.
You don't need expensive components too, just get parts that are cheap enough to bother with and you can easily squeeze 1~2000km of life from them. But got don't go all extremely and get a rm10 chain and Crankset la… be rational. Very high end (expensive end) components are for weight Winnie's, not built for durability due to extreme weight cutting (material cutting la) eg, ultegra cassette are design for under 1000km, and claris cassette are meant to last over 1000km... Ultralight carbon wheelset will never outlast a solid alloy wheelset... no carbon frame can win a crash test against steel frame…

I totally agree with Fatani on gear range. My legs are wimpy, I need at least 450% for hilly terrain. But on the flat, 300% will do the job of riding up flyover.

*PS
Single chainring
25/11 = 227%
28/11 = 255%
32/11 = 291%
36/11 = 327%

Multiple chainring
53/39 * 26/11 = 305%
52/36 * 34/11 = 446% (this is what I use 8sp 52/36T + 11-34t)
50/11 = 455% (1x11sp 11-50t will give wider range than the one I use, will definatatelty use this when I build a big wheel bike)

Did u check the rear internal hub? The wheelset?

Checked and all parts in perfect condition.
With exception for rear hub gear actuator, which i have ordered. once that installed, i expect a near perfect bike.

GCK every month buy a new bike.… bought a new house to park them yet? LOL

Bike under staircase sudah almost full house, but usually i will clear some so i can buy some more.
